Abstract

The article presents the results of selenium content determination in the rivers and lakes of the Arkhangelsk region, the White and the Barents Seas. The concentration of this element in the samples proved to be low. The data obtained can be used for further determination of selenium status of the region.

Keywords

selenium, river, lake, concentration level, sea, biogenic element, Arkhangelsk Region.
