Description
From 1999 to 2003 a multipurpose regional geochemical mapping project, was carried out in Finland, and the NW-part of Russia. An important
aim of the project is to define the anthropogenic impact in relation to the natural variations in regional geochemical baselines of heavy
metals and other elements over a large area containing several of the largest industrial emitters in Europe but also some of its most
pristine areas.
Terrestrial moss, the organic layer, stream waters, and the C-horizon soil samples were collected from1085 sites
in Russia and 288 sites in Finland, giving an average density of one site per 1000 km2.
Both total and aqua regia extractable
element concentrations were determined from <2 mm fraction of minerogenic samples, and total concentrations of organic soil samples
and terrestrial moss were measured after strong acid leach, bioavailable concentrations of organic layer soil samples were measured,
too. Concentrations of more than 50 elements, radionuclides, and other parameters were determined. Different extraction methods were
used in order to study the speciation and bioavailability of the elements.
Maps showing the distribution of 48 elements and other
parameters are included in this atlas. The anomaly patterns of minerogenic C-horizon data are strongly controlled by element distributions
in the bedrock. Stream water data are mainly controlled by geological formations and structures both for major and trace elements, but
in some cases the influence of anthropogenic activities could be detected as elevated heavy metal concentrations. Anomaly patterns from
moss data reflect mainly anthropogenic activities, but in areas such as mountains and tundra the geogenic dust also has a strong influence.
It was not possible to detect any long distance airborne transport of heavy metals from industrialized areas to clean arctic regions.
Audience
Geochemists, government agencies and policy makers, mining industry, academic libraries
