Abstract
From a remote, pristine study area the authors collected and analyzed samples for K, Rb, Cs, Ca, Sr, Ba and Pb. The results show that heavy metals move through natural ecosystems in a predictable manner relative to lighter elements of the same periodic family. Four developments which refine these measurements and enhance the interpretation of the results are: (1) a technique for collecting a soil moisture film; (2) a device for the collection of dry deposition of aerosols; (3) a procedure for the removal of foliar deposits from the surface of plant leaves; (4) a method of collecting a snow sample representative of the entire accumulated snowpack.
