Flux of suspended particulate matter and cadmium in the Lot River, southwestern France / Yvon Lapaquellerie, Noële Maillet, Jean-Marie Jouanneau, John P. Coakley, and Claude Latouche.: En13-5/96-61E-PDF

"The paper presents a detailed study of cadmium flux, discharged via the Lot into the Garonne River. The study also examines the methodological requirements for long-term monitoring, especially the establishment of a rigorous sampling protocol to ensure as much as possible the continuity of the measurements involved. The principal challenges presented to the study were those related to the establishment of a mass balance for the suspended particulate matter (SPM). The accuracy of this budget is of great importance because the SPM represents the main dispersal vectors for cadmium and other trace metals, especially zinc"--Introduction, page 4.
