Contribution a l'etude du p H et de la saturation en calcite dans l'estuairedu St-Laurent (Canada). [St. Lawrence Estuary, Canada: pH and calcite saturation.]Atmos. Ocean, 18(2): 154-167.

Using recent analytical data on carbonate alkalinity and dissolved calcium in the St. Lawrence Estuary, pH variations and dissolved carbonate concentrations have been modelled. The model shows that 'pH does not vary linearly with salinity' but is related to seasonal fluctuations of inorganic carbon in the incoming fresh waters.

Limnol. sin., 11(1): 30-45. Analyses of coastal sediment, water and particulate samples revealed: (1) Cr(HI) as the predominant species; (2) a relationship between Cr species and environmental pH and Eh; (3) higher concentrations of particulate Cr near shore; (4) no Cr(VI) adsorption by suspended sediments but considerable (97%) Cr(III) adsorption; (5) at most, a 6.1 ppb release of Cr from polluted sediments; and (6) seawater self-purification via the reduction of industrial waste Cr(VI) to Cr(III) by organic matter followed by particulate adsorption of Cr(III) and ultimate settlement of the particulates
