Årsliste 2001 This report presents the first common evaluation of water chemistry in the Nordic countries (except for the Faroe Islands and Greenland): Denmark, Finland including Åland, Iceland, Norway including Svalbard and Bear Island, and Sweden. The Nordic countries exhibit large gradients in many chemical constituents in lake water, from Iceland in the west, Svalbard and Bear Island in the north via Denmark to Sweden, Finland and Norway, due to large differences in geology, hydrology, vegetation and air pollution. The data are interpreted relative to these factors. Nordic Counsils of Ministers - Nordiska Arbetsgruppen för Miljôôvervaking och Data
