| Zusammenfassung |
| To examine the downstream transfer of sediment-associated metals, samples of bed sediments
and suspended sediments were collected from small streams draining an abandoned hydraulic
gold mine and an active open cast copper mine in the Quesnel River catchment, BC, Canada.
In addition, sediment from a control site with no apparent upstream contaminant sources was
sampled. The samples included bulk suspended sediment samples collected using a
time-integrated suspended sediment sampler (n = 5), bulk bed sediment samples
collected using the resuspension method (n = 24), and depth profile samples (n =
49). The samples were sieved through a 63 μm mesh sieve and the fraction |
