Abstract
Most mountain lakes and their catchments are, due to their remoteness, less impacted by human actions than lakes in lowland regions. They are, therefore, often considered pristine systems. Nevertheless, even remote, uninhabited areas are polluted via atmospheric deposition of aerosols that transport acid rain, heavy metals, organic compounds, and nutrients.
