Short summary
While the southern Mozambique Channel receives a range of atmospheric influences from Madagascar and southeastern Africa, no study has investigated the composition of such air-masses. We characterise the trace element composition of aerosols over the Channel when natural emissions are low. Results show critical levels of potentially toxic elements, chromium and cadmium, which were linked to emissions from mining (chromite and gold) and smelting activities on both neighbouring landmasses.
