| Abstract | Water samples from the southeastern coast of the U.S. were analyzed for free and bound iron, copper, zinc, and lead as well as pH, salinity, filterable material, humic material, dissolved organic carbon and color. A positive correlation between color and dissolved organic carbon and negative correlations with filterable material and salinity show the loss of humic materials in estuaries. Laboratory experiments with both synthetic and natural humic material suggest that trace metals may be removed along with the humic materials. (Author) |
