Factors affecting chemical composition of lake water of specially protected areas in Altai mountains, Russia, based on Multa river basin study
Mass-spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma was applied to determine the dissolved forms of 26 elements in the water of lakes of the Mul’tinskii Basin. Specific features were identified in the formation of water chemistry in the water bodies of high-mountain Altai territories which suffer little anthropogenic impact. Water quality and the effect of natural factors on it were assessed.
