Abstract
Measurements at McMurdo Station, Antarctica demonstrate that the combustion of light-weight fuel oil (AN-8) at the station is not a significant source of vanadium in ambient aerosols there. It is concluded by inference that t he elevated levels of vanadium found previously at Dye 3, Greenland, where diesel fuel arctic (DFA) was used for power generation and surface vehicles , were due to aerosol transport from North America, not contamination from local sources.
