Release and transport of toxic, mobile organic compounds (Formaldehyde and Phenols) on an Arctic Glacier
As a result of current deglaciation, the chemical cycles of many compounds, including toxic formaldehyde and phenols, are changing. However, the processes by which these chemicals are released have yet to be studied in situ. Here, we quantify fluxes of HCHO and phenols in a glacial catchment within...
