Abstract

As part of the SEAREX programme, an air filter system and a precipitation collector were deployed at Enewetak (11°20′ N, 162°20′ E). A description of the air filter system and initial results on the chemical composition of the collected aerosols¹ and on the organic components² have been reported elsewhere. As part of the same programme we have measured ²¹⁰Pb (and ²¹⁰Po) in air filter and integrated monthly precipitation samples collected during 1979 to estimate the ²¹⁰Pb flux (0.15±0.02 d.p.m. cm^-2 yr ^-1) and the Asian dust flux (38±20μg cm^-2 yr^-1) at this location in the Pacific.
