Tin contamination in sediments of Lake Zurich: source, spread, history and risk assessment Open
Industrial activities of a silk dyeing factory in Thalwil, on the shore of Lake Zurich, Switzerland, caused extreme Sn contamination of lake sediments. In this study, we determine the contamination's age, source, and spreading using a mult…

Tin stable isotope variations for tracing anthropogenic contaminations in sediments of Lake Zurich, Switzerland Open
Anthropogenic heavy metal contaminations can be traced using stable isotope systems like Cd or Hg, because isotopic fractionation can occur during contaminant production or transport, leading to different isotopic compositions for natural …

Aquatic microorganisms or reed grass as potential disturbing factors in varved sediment records when tracing terrestrial input. An example from a eutrophic Swiss lake. Open
<p>Lake sediments can be used as great environmental archives, especially when they are varved due to anoxic conditions at the lake bottom. Such an annual resolution of these archives can give unique insights in past environmental an…
