- Description:
- Intertwined with the other pollution difficulties of the Coeur d'Alene and Spokane region is the problem of the metals and the nannoplankton. Metals, such as cadmium, lead, copper, and zinc, are coming down the South Fork to the main stem of the Coeur d'Alene River, and thence to Coeur d'Alene Lake. Some quantities of these materials are reaching the Spokane River. The sources of these metals are the tailing piles, drainage from old, closed mines, and wastewaters from smelters. The nannoplankton are those aquatic animals and plants which drift in the waters of ponds, lakes, and the oceans and are so small they cannot be seen except through a microscope.
