| 0.84 ‰ | 1 | filtered river water (dissolved silicon) Sample C89-62, November 1989, 1007 km from Bangui along the transect; discharge 11,000 m³/s, dissolved silicon 6.6 mg/L, pH 6.35, 2 runs. Lighter than the Ubangi at Bangui (+1.21 ‰). The standard deviation of the two replicates is published as 0.00 ‰: no uncertainty given. | Cardinal et al.
