Geochemical Specifics of the Distribution of Elements between Their Forms in Lakes in the European Part of Russia and Western Siberia

Abstract

The paper analyzes currently applied methodological approaches to evaluating the speciation of metals in natural waters and presents literature data and original author’s experimental results on the forms of metals in natural waters in various natural–climatic zones in Russia and other countries. Data are presented on the geochemical specifics of the distribution of metals between their forms in lakes in the European part of Russia and western Siberia.
