Abstract
Nuclear physical methods of analysis were used for the
determination of some trace elements in the ecosystem of Lake Baikal
(water, bottom sediments and the water organisms, phytoplankton,
zooplankton, zoobenthos and fish). Our observations suggest that
the health status of the Lake Baikal is good and bioavailability
of toxic elements is very low. © 2000 Published by Elsevier
