Article Synopsis
- A copper-nickel smelter complex near the Kole Peninsula in Russia has led to elevated trace-element concentrations in surface sediments of 45 nearby lakes, particularly Ni, Cu, Pb, Co, Hg, As, and Cd.
- Highest trace-element concentrations were found within 20 km of the smelter, decreasing significantly with distance, indicating clear spatial deposition patterns related to the smelter's emissions.
- In lakes located 20-60 km from the smelter, increasing levels of elements like Ni, Cu, As, and Hg in surface sediments suggest recent atmospheric deposition changes, although diagenetic processes could also be influencing these results.
