Ultra-clean techniques in assessing metal effect on phytoplankton / P.T.S. Wong ... [et al.]. : En13-5/85-81E-PDF

"The necessity of using ultra-clean techniques (metal-free) in measuring primary productivity in waters from Batchewana Bay, Lake Superior and Turkey Lake, Ontario was evaluated. There was no significant difference in productivity in waters collected with a Van Dorn bottle (which has metal components) and with a metal free rubber-and-plastic hand pump. Incubation of waters in polycarbonate flasks gave much higher productivity than in glass flasks, but the decrease in values in glass flasks was not due to the leaching of metals from the glass flasks since there was no significant difference in the quantity of Cu, Pb, Ni and Zn leached from the two types of flasks. However, contamination of waters by the addition of a mixture of metals (Cu (5 ug/L), Zn (30 ug/L), Ni (25 ug/L), and Pb (25 ug/L)) resulted in a drastic decrease in productivity"--Abstract.
