ABSTRACT
Fifty-one samples were collected from Datong Basin in August 2009. Temperature, pH and Electrical Conductivity (EC) were in-situ measured using HANNA instrument meters, calibrated before sampling by using standard point in laboratory (pH: 6.86 and 9.18; EC: 500 μS/cm). Major cations and trace elements were measured by IRIS Intrepid II XSP ICP-AES, while anions including Fluoride (F−), Chloride (Cl−), Nitrate (NO3−), and sulfate (SO42−) concentrations were determined using Metrohm 761 Compact IC Ion Chromatograph.
