MARC recordAbnormally enriched elemental concentrations in urban snow / John J. Drake, S. Vermette, S. Landsberger, A. Simsons.
| Title: | Abnormally enriched elemental concentrations in urban snow / John J. Drake, S. Vermette, S. Landsberger, A. Simsons. |
| Author(s): | Drake, John J. Vermette, S. Landsberger, S. Simsons, A. |
| Date: | 1987. |
| Publisher: | Ottawa: National Research Council Canada. Associate Committee on Geotechnical Research |
| In: | National Research Council of Canada. Associate Committee on Geotechnical Research. Technical Memorandum. (1987.), Vol. 140 (1987) |
| Abstract: | Using two multi-elemental techniques (instrumental neutron activation analysis and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy), 18 trace elements were identified in soluble fraction of urban snow. Enrichment factor calculations show that many trace elements have abnormally high values which can be attributed to short- and long-range transport of either polluted or naturally-occurring composition. |
