| Abstract: | The total dissolved load of the Rhine river increases downstream due to the combined impact of natural and pollution loads. The natural background, controlled by geology, is soon swamped by pollution, particularly from salt and coal mining activities in Alsace and the Ruhr area. The Rhine is also a net source of CO2 from oxidation of excess organic productivity that is fuelled by nutrient pollution, a problem even more serious for some of its tributaries.Also Derry/Rust Research Group, Ottawa-Carleton Geoscience Center, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada KIN 6N5 |
