Atmospheric enhancement of metal deposition in Adirondack lake sediments. Technical completion report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5138089
Sediment cores were collected from Woodhull Lake, Adirondack State Park, New York in July, 1975. Analysis of metals by neutron activation and atomic adsorption spectroscopy was performed. Of the 44 metals analyzed, Ag, Au, Cr, Ni, Pb, Sb and V increased rates of deposition in recent times. These increases are caused by increased rates of atmospheric deposition of metals. These results are substantiated by similar studies done on cores from Honnedaga Lake, Adirondack State Park, New York and Lake of the Clouds, Mt. Washington, New Hampshire.
