BIOCHEMISTRY: Biochemistry of nutrients, metals and organic micropollutants in the North Sea: determination of trace elements, nutrients, organic composites in water and nutrients and heavy metal concentrations in the air (1997-2000)
Citation
Description
The purpose of this research project was to examine the principle means by which pollutants are carried to the North Sea and to trace them once they reach it. For macro- and micro-nutrients, heavy metals and organic pollutants, the following were studied in detail for the North Sea : the atmospheric and river input, the speciation, behaviour and transformation, and the sink processes. more
Data on trace elements such as aluminium, iron, manganese, copper, zinc, nickel, cadmium and lead, with particular attention to the dissolved phase (water), nutrients, chl-a, phaeophytin-a and trace metals such as manganese, copper, zinc, nickel, cadmium and lead (water), organic composites in the water and nutrients and heavy metals to study atmospheric transport. Scope Themes: Biology > Pigments (e.g. chlorophyll), Environmental quality/pollution, Physical > Hydrography (e.g. T,S), Water composition > Dissolved gases, Water composition > Nutrients Keywords: Marine/Coastal, Aerosols, Atmospheric composition, Heavy metals, Organic pollutants, Pollutants, Trace metals, Volatile organic compounds, ANE, North Sea Geographical coverage ANE, North Sea [Marine Regions] Temporal coverage
