Rivers and surface water
- Type
- River or surface water
Himalayan river sampled by Sharma et al. (1999) to test the role of the Himalaya in the rise of seawater 187Os/188Os: Himalayan rivers supply neither much osmium nor highly radiogenic osmium.

| 2.68 ± 0.07 | 2.63 / 2.73 | 2 | river water (dissolved load) Mean and standard deviation recalculated from 2 analyses, 2.63 to 2.73 (#1 2.63; #2 2.73). Dissolved Os 45 ± 2 fmol/kg. The table gives a mean of 2.6 ± 0.06 and the abstract 2.65, while the mean of the two corrected values is 2.68; the second (2.73) carries a large blank correction (2.58 measured). | Sharma et al.
