Waterborne metal levels in four freshwater lakes from Harmony Point, Nelson Island, Antarctica
Abstract The aim of this study is to analyze the waterborne metal levels in four lakes (one endorheic and three exorheic) of Harmony Point, Nelson Island, Antarctica. Water samples were analyzed by using a quadrupole type inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer and an inductively coupled plasma...
