Siberian peat bog are the largest in the world. Collecting of data on contaminating elements in Siberian peat deposits is important because no quantitative information has been available till recently. As a role, the distribution of the concentrations of elements over the vertical profile of the stratigraphic column is used to study the evolution of pollutants in the environment. Using neutron activation analysis the concentrations of nearly 33 elements in 23 layers of peat deposits were determined. The thickness of the deposit is 8.4 m. The results provide a possibility for studying the geochemical aspects of the peat bog genesis down to 10 000 years ago.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
