The stable isotope compositions of Cu and Zn in major geochemical reservoirs are
increasingly studied with the aim to develop these isotope systems as tools to investigate the …

Zinc is a ubiquitous metal, acting both as an essential and a toxic element to organisms
depending on its concentration and speciation in solution. Human activities mobilize and …

Samples of lichens, snow and particulate matter (PM 10, 24 h) are used for the source
