Casco Bay Estuary Partnership investigated the current role of atmospheric deposition, as it relates to nitrogen, mercury and fine particulate matter pollution in Casco Bay. Read the July 3, 2003 report, "The Deposition of Air Pollutants to Casco Bay." (PDF)
The Casco Bay Air Deposition Study Team also prepared a document that provides a simple method for estimating the annual rate of direct atmospheric deposition of pollutants to an estuary when little or no local monitoring data is available, "Estimating Estuarine Pollutant Loading from Atmospheric Deposition using Casco Bay, Maine as a Case Study." 2003 (PDF)
