Article Synopsis
  • Evidence of preindustrial atmospheric pollution in the Southern Hemisphere is primarily found in geological records from South America, which are limited in resolution and detail.
  • An annually resolved ice core record from Quelccaya, Peru, spans from A.D. 793-1989 and shows that precolonial trace element deposition was mainly from dust and volcanic ash, with minimal impact from Inca mining.
  • A significant increase in anthropogenic pollution began around A.D. 1540 due to colonial mining and a shift to mercury amalgamation for silver extraction, although these levels were still much lower than 20th-century pollution.

First real time CO2 and O2 measurements on the High Altitude Research Station Jungfraujoch (Switzerland) are compared with corresponding flasks samples. Whereas CO2 measurements show a good agreement, O2 compares only moderately. Real time O2 measurements are performed using two different methods, i.

Atmospheric O2 and CO2 flask measurements from the high altitude research station Jungfraujoch, Switzerland, and from the observatory at Puy de Dôme, France, are presented. Additionally, the Jungfraujoch delta13C record of CO2 is discussed. The observations on flask samples collected at the Jungfraujoch station show, since 2003, an enhancement of the oxygen trend which amounts to about 45 per meg/year with a corresponding CO2 increase of around 2.
