Survey Description
During the summer of 1975, stream sediments were collected on Prince Edward Island, eastern Canada. Approximately 380 samples were collected at an average density of one sample/15 km2 throughout the 5,700 km2 survey area. Samples were taken where streams intersected roads, well upstream from the road to minimize contamination. The survey was done in conjunction with a well water survey carried out in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI. The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 680.
Quantities Analysed:
<0.177 mm fraction of stream sediments by AAS using an air-acetylene flame for Zn, Cu, Pb, Mn and Fe; for U by fluorometry and by delayed neutron counting.
Sampling Procedure
Approximately one pound (0.454 kg) of sand-silt sediment was removed from the active part of the stream by hand and placed in a paper bag. The samples were air-dried and shipped to Ottawa for analysis.
