Abstract

An aquifer and an aquitard in contact with the Alum Shale Formation (Bornholm Island, Denmark) have been sampled and analyzed for their contents in metals and radionuclides. High concentrations of some metals have been found in the aquitard within the formation. However, the overlying aquifer shows low concentration of metals and this provides evidence that the transfer of contaminants into the aquifer is naturally limited.
