| 1.28 | 1 | river water (dissolved load) Single analysis: measured 187Os/186Os 9.9 ± 0.2, 10.7 after a blank correction scaled on the Mississippi. Dissolved Os 44.2 ± 1.2 fmol/kg; Os/Ir of 2.8, with no visible pollution signal according to the authors. With the normal 186Os/188Os ratio of Table 1 (0.11995), one would get 1.25, 1.73, 1.06 and 1.28 for the Mississippi, Columbia, Connecticut and Vistula. | Sharma & Wasserburg (1997), Osmium in the rivers, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 61(24):… |
