Abstract

Concentrations of lead and mercury in the White and Barents Seas were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. Lead distribution along hydrologic sections is presented. It is shown that mercury content is insignificant and equal in almost all areas of the cuts.

Keywords

heavy metals, lead, mercury, atomic absorption spectroscopy, sea water.
