Observations
- Parameters
- Sedimentation flux of metallic and metalloid elements and isotopes in water bodies
- Instruments
- sediment traps
- atomic absorption spectrometers
Description
- Summary
- The aim was to completely dissolve sediment trap samples supplied on membrane filters and form a sample solution of dilute nitric acid which may then be analysed by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The delta-13 C signature of organic matter in the sediment traps has been used to identify sources of organic matter and associate these with other constituents.
