Abstract: | The chemical record in Loch Lomond sediments deposited since the end of the last Ice Age provides evidence of the Flandrian marine transgression some 5500–7000 14C years B.P., sedimentation rates and the influence of man's local activities, environmental pollution and its sources since the onset of the Industrial Revolution, and of elemental mobility linked with the reduction-diffusion-oxidation cycle of early sedimentary diagenesis. Information derived from vertical profiles of halogen elements bromine and iodine, radionuclides 14C and 210Pb, heavy metals lead, zinc, and cadmium, stable lead isotopes 206Pb and 207Pb, and redox-sensitive elements manganese, iron and arsenic is reviewed and assessed. |
