Activities in 'South Carolina'

Former Charleston Navy Base
description: Arsenic and thallium contamination in sediments may be derived from pyrite used to manufacture sulfuric acid for processing of phosphate rock during the late 1800's to early 1900's. The study will compare As and Tl concentrations in sediment at the former Navy Base site with data obtained from regional studies in the same watershed to establish local background concentrations for assessment of industrialized and military sites.
