Extract

Recent publications reporting dissolved trace metal data have highlighted the susceptibility of such determinations to contamination during sampling and analysis. Results from recent surveys using stringent anti-contamination procedures have suggested that much of the earlier data has been affected by contamination. New surveys are desirable, therefore, particularly in areas which are known to receive considerable burdens of trace metal pollution.
