Abstract

Chemical analyses of geochemical or environmental samples get useful when generic relationships among the samples are discovered, as the latters tell the mechanism participating in the flow of a stream as well as the transfer of materials in the environment.<BR>The present study concerns the river bottom sediments for which a technique of the concentration correlation matrix is applied to discover the origin of various trace elements.<BR>The investigators collected the river-sediment samples from the rivers running through the mountains of the middle Japan area. The water-suspended materials of the samples were submitted to the chemical analyses for ten elements, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Ni, Co, Bi, Ag, As, and Sb. Experimental data based on 53 samples of river-sediments are presented. Among ten examples eight show the relatively high generic correlations between the samples at the confluence of the main course of the river and the feeders. Relatively low correlations found in the other two examples could be interpreted in terms of the geographical and geological reasons.
