Survey Description


In 1974-1975, a groundwater sampling survey was conducted in the Abitibi's populated areas, Quebec.  The area covers 20000 km2.  A total of 5000 samples were collected from water wells, springs and drillholes, at an average density of 1 sample per 3.0 km2 and analysed for:

 

Element Technique
Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, Cd, Ca, Cr, Fe, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na atomic absorption (AAS)
Hg AFS (cold vapor method/atomic absorption)
K atomic emission
F, Cl ion-selective electrode (ISE)
U fluorometry
As HG-AAS (hydride generation/atomic absorption)
Sr, B, P, Si, Al inductively coupled plasma optical emission (ICP-ES)
pH ion-selective electrode (ISE)

 

The data are published in Open File Quebec Ministère de l’énergie des ressources DPV-725.  Raw data and sample locations are published in DPV-726.

This survey is part of two compilations published in DPV-608 and DV 87-22.
