Concentrations of Dissolved Cu, Cd, Zn, Mn, Fe and Pb in Global Marine Environments

This dataset encompasses previously published literature on the concentrations of copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), and lead (Pb) in marine environments, including open and coastal oceans and seas, shelf, inshore, and offshore areas. Here, the ocean, sea or marine environment is given, along with more details on the specific location. The water depth ranges of 0 - 100m, 101 - 1000m and 2000m+ are specified for the concentration ranges (nM) or average concentration (nM) of Cu, Cd, Zn, Mn, Fe and Pb in open, coastal, shelf, offshore and inshore environments. Additional information on the data, such as the sampling date etc, is also given where provided by the original authors, as specified in the References.
