Introduction
Heavy metals are measured in the Netherlands in
air and precipitation

Goal of case study Netherlands
Heavy metal case study will be used for new
strategy for measurements

Prospects

• Simulation results of other years than 2007 for
  example 2008 and 2009
• Analysis for high peaks model versus
  measurements
• Other heavy metals Cd and Hg
• Assess deposition over the Netherlands (i.e.
  critical loads)
