First indication of platinum input into the southern North Sea via German Rivers

Platinum (Pt) is an emerging critical metal, but the long-term environmental impacts of anthropogenic Pt remain largely unknown. We report, for the first time, Pt input from three major German rivers (Ems, Weser and Elbe) into the southern North Sea. All three rivers were a major source of Pt, with...

Zusammenfassung:Platinum (Pt) is an emerging critical metal, but the long-term environmental impacts of anthropogenic Pt remain largely unknown. We report, for the first time, Pt input from three major German rivers (Ems, Weser and Elbe) into the southern North Sea. All three rivers were a major source of Pt, with a maximum of 6.3 pmol L−1 in the Elbe endmember, compared to generally
