Survey Description Profile samples were collected from peat hummocks and hollows at 41 sites and feather moss from 15 peatland sites within 100 km of the Horne smelter at Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec in 1997. The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 3882. Data Description: Paper report; data files on diskette. Quantities Analysed: Peat samples analyzed by ICP-AES after nitric-perchloric acid digestion for 23 elements and by LOI; feather moss by INAA for 23 elements; <0.063 mm fraction of mineral sediment samples by ICP-AES after HNO3-HCl digestion for 23 elements. Geochem Plots Available: Proportional symbol maps show dispersal of elements in surface peat. |
