| Abstract | Elevated levels of aluminum in acidic surface waters have been attributed to the dissolution of soil minerals by acidic atmospheric deposition. There is currently considerable interest in aqueous chemistry of aluminum because of its role, (a) as a toxicant to aquatic organisms, (b) in the cycling of orthophosphate and organic carbon, and (c) as a pH buffer. In the study the authors evaluated the chemistry of aluminum in an acidic drainage lake. (Copyright (c) 1984 Martinus Nijhoffl/Dr. W. Junk Publishers, The Hague/Boston/Lancaster.) |
