My research is dealing with long range transport of pollutants from Europe
to Western Black Sea region. I am collecting rain samples my means of rain
auto-sampler and rain gage connected to data logger, then I am analyzing
them for trace metals (e.g.. Cd, Pb, Sb, Al, Na, K, Mn, Mg...) by means
of Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) with flame and Graphite Furnace
Techniques. Furthermore, INAA will be done to analyze trace metals also.
In addition to this i am analyzing samples for ions (NO3, SO4, Cl
and NH4) by means of HPLC and spectrohpotometric methods. After this we
are going to apply some statistics (Factor Analysis, Back Trajectory) using
statistical program packages (SGPlus, SPSS, Lotus, Excel) and then determine
the significant correlation between the different variables.
