Abstract

The abundance and distribution of Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn in the water of Lake Teganuma, one of most hypereutrophic lakes in Japan, and from its two main inflow rivers were investigated. The heavy metal concentrations in Teganuma water were in the range of the world's ‘unpolluted’ lakes, although the Zn concentrations of inflow rivers were found to be clearly higher than those in the lake. Greater proportion of particulate heavy metals to dissolved in water of the lake than the two rivers shows the metal deposition process in the lake.
