The phrase "atmospheric fallout" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing environmental science, nuclear events, or the effects of pollution on the atmosphere.
Example: "The study focused on the effects of atmospheric fallout from the recent nuclear test on local ecosystems."
Alternatives: "airborne debris" or "aerial deposition".
The nature and quantity of atmospheric fallout is site specific and generally has a seasonal cycle.
Farms, atmospheric fallout from air pollution and urban runoff are major contributors to eutrophication, the report said.
The atmospheric fallout from a global catastrophe can be seen today in a geological layer known as the K-T boundary, dated to 66 million years ago.
In addition, atmospheric fallout from the damaged reactors is contaminating the ocean as prevailing winds carry radioactivity out over the Pacific.
In the previous paper, the use of soilborne 137Cs from atmospheric fallout to estimate rates of soil redistribution, particularly by wind, was reviewed.
The representative reports regard the radioactive content of soil, surface and underground water, cultivated and spontaneous vegetation, aerosols and atmospheric fallout, sediments.
The whole method was applied to real samples: sludge, suspended materials, atmospheric fallouts and roof deposit.
Dr. Shukla contributed much on secondary metabolite chemistry, interaction of lichens with the environment, spatio-temporal behaviour of pollutants and role of lichens in bioremediation of atmospheric fallouts.
The road transports also induce the contamination of nearer soils by a pollutant transfer via the atmospheric fallouts (Viard et al. 2004; Nabuloa et al. 2006) or road runoff (Mitsch and Gosselink 1993; Nabuloa et al. 2006).
A regional atmospheric-fallout gradient was indicated by as much as order-of-magnitude-greater concentrations and accumulation rates of contaminants in cores from an undeveloped reference lake in Boston compared to those from remote reference watersheds.
The lowest and highest rates of atmospheric dust fallout occurred in December and June, with average amounts of 9.97 g m−2 and 20.96 g m−2, respectively.
