The results were compared to concentrations of Cr and Ni in parent rocks that outcrop extensively in the catchment area of N. Evoikos in order to distinguish natural and anthropogenic sources of these two elements. Elevated concentrations of Cr and Ni as well as high values of magnetic susceptibility were determined in all samples. Low leachability was determined for Cr since chromite is the major crystalline phase of Cr in the samples analyzed whereas higher leachability was observed for Ni. 4 pp. LOMv1.0 creator LOMv1.0 Scientific Coordinator LOMv1.0 Project Final Beneficiary LOMv1.0 Project Executing Organisation 2015 Digital Library of the Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning" abstract types Text chromium nickel parent rocks slag sediments Evoikos 151968 application/pdf http://repository.edulll.gr/edulll/bitstream/10795/1903/2/1903_2015.09.11_Louropoulou_et_al_Cr_Ni_Evoikos.pdf International Conference on the Environmental Perspectives of the Gulf of Elefsis: A Mediterranean case study where Science meets Society, 11-12 September 2015, Athens, Greece URI http://hdl.handle.net/10795/1903 LOMv1.0creator 2016-02-12T13:33:18Z LOMv1.0validator 2016-02-12T13:33:18Z LOMv1.0 gre no no Copyright EYD-EPEDBM (Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning")
