Cadmium background values in the groundwater of Lower Saxony 1: 500.000

Background values for dissolved cadmium in groundwater were determined for the hydrogeological subdivisions of Lower Saxony. The background values of dissolved cadmium include the levels that occur in the groundwater under natural conditions. The map shows the color-differentiated cadmium background values (90 % percentiles) of the different subspaces. Detailed information can be found in GeoReport 41. Sources: Kubier, A.
