Trace Metal Deposition on Agricultural Crops Near the Chalk Point Generating Station

摘要

The objectives of this investigation were (1) to determine the effects of major technological changes in electric power generation on the release of heavy metals into the environment (2) to examine the distribution and deposition of several heavy metals in the agricultural environment near Chalk Point and (3) to determine the effects of the deposition on the concentrations of these metals associated with corn (Zea mays) and soybeans (Glycine max) grown in the region.
