Abstract The hypothesis that air pollution is a major source of some water pollution trace elements in Lake Michigan (Winchester and Nifong, 1971) is reexamined. Hazards evaluation techniques are used to assess the overall transfer efficiency of pollution from air to the lake. This efficiency was found to be at least 25%, which supports the hypothesis. It is suggested that the problem be studied taking into account local mesoscale systems (such as lake breeze) and the distribution of air trajectory, wind speed and stability categories.
