Dissolved and particulate cadmium in the St. Laurence River / K.R. Lum, M. Callaghan and P.R. Youakim.: En13-5/86-60E-PDF

"Dissolved and particulate cadmium forms have been measured in samples from the St. Lawrence River from Lake Ontario to Quebec City. The average concentration of dissolved Cd for the river is 15 ng L-1. Particulate cadmium averages 1.88 ug g-1. The distribution coefficient ranges from 0.91 to 2.01 x 10-7 litres/ng. Flux calculations show the discharge of dissolved and particulate cadmium by the St. Lawrence River to be much lower than previous estimates"--Abstract.
