The fate of the discharged heavy metals

Creators

Description

Measurements were made in order to deduce the fate of heavy pollutants which were discharged during milling operations. The extent to which these metals have accumulated in the Finniss River floodplains and the significance of the accumulation with respect to the pastoral use of the plains are discussed. The metals investigated were copper, manganese, zinc and radium. (author)
