Geochemistry of Trace Metals in the Gironde Estuary (F).

Abstract

Dissolved particulate and colloidal fractions of Cd, Ni, Zn, Cu, Pb, Mn and Fe were measured in the Gironde estuary (F). The concentration profiles of these various trace metals are modeled using a simple geochemical model based on inorganic complexation of the metals by seawater anions.JRC.(EI)-Environment Institut
