The Source of Silica and Trace Metals in Particulate Matter in Framvaren Fjord

The Source of Silica and Trace Metals in Particulate Matter in Framvaren Fjord The lake and streams in the Framvarenwatershed were sampled and analyzed in September 1983.The results can be explained by the precipitation ofacid rain containing some sea salts and thedissolution of Farsundite, the dominating rock in thecatchment area. The runoff supplies the surface waterof Framvaren with silica, aluminium, manganese, iron,copper, zinc, cadmium and lead. Reasonablecalculations show that the runoff most likely is themain source for the particulate matter found insediment traps and by filtering off suspendedparticles. Thus the calculations supplement recentstudies of Skei et al. (1996). http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Aquatic Geochemistry Springer Journals

Abstract

The lake and streams in the Framvarenwatershed were sampled and analyzed in September 1983.The results can be explained by the precipitation ofacid rain containing some sea salts and thedissolution of Farsundite, the dominating rock in thecatchment area. The runoff supplies the surface waterof Framvaren with silica, aluminium, manganese, iron,copper, zinc, cadmium and lead. Reasonablecalculations show that the runoff most likely is themain source for the particulate matter found insediment traps and by filtering off suspendedparticles. Thus the calculations supplement recentstudies of Skei et al. (1996).
