Samples of sea water were collected in Kangerdluarssuk in the summers of 1974 and 1975 (fig. 28) as part of the geochemical-ecological Narssaq project (Bohse et al., 1975; Nielsen et al., 1976). These have been analysed for dissolved zinc, cadmium, lead and copper by anodic stripping voltammetry (Table 5). Water samples were collected with teflon-coated 5 litre Universal Series water sampIers with drop messengers (Hydro-bios, Kiel). In 1974 the water samples were taken from GGU motor cutter N. V. Ussing, in May 1975 from M/S Adolf Jensen and in September 1975 from a rubber boat. The samples were kept in plastic canisters previously analysed for heavy elements.
