Fallout of Be-7 in Damascus city

Atmospheric fallout of Be-7 was measured over a 2 year period (January 1995 -January 1997) at Damascus city (33 N degrees, 727 m above sea level). The annual total deposition of Be-7 was found to be 420 and 634 Bq.m(-2) for 19 95 and 1996, respectively, reflecting a Mediterranean climate where two wel l recognized periods are dominant (wet and dry). The depositions in the wet periods were 303 Bq.m(-2) and 517 Bq.m(-2) for 1995 and 1996, respectively , while unexpected equal deposition rates in the two dry periods were found to be about 117 Bq.m(-2). In addition, monthly deposition rate of Be-7 sho wed a maxima in February in 1995 and January for 1996.
