Concentration of heavy metals and metalloids in the bottom sediments of the Vilkitsky Island’s lakes (the Kara Sea)
We performed this study in order to obtain relevant data about the actual ecological status of the lakes in remote areas of the Russian Arctic. The objective was to determine the level of technogenic pollution of bottom sediments in the lakes on the Vilkitsky island in the Kara Sea. To this end, we...
