巢湖表层沉积物中重金属的分布及污染评价

对巢湖湖区不同位点的表层沉积物中的Fe、Cr、Pb、Cu、Co、Zn、Ni7种重金属含量进行的分析表明,湖泊沉积物中重金属含量分布呈现一定的区域特征,由于巢湖西半湖靠近合肥市区,大量的工业废水和生活污水通过河道排入巢湖,引起西半湖区中重金属含量高于东半湖区。采用富集因子法和地积累指数法对巢湖沉积物重金属污染现状进行了评价,结果表明,巢湖沉积物中存在Pb、Cu污染,个别地区已相当严重,并呈现沿湖心区至东半湖区逐渐降低趋势。研究表明,两种方法均能对人为污染行为做出较为科学的评价,且两种方法得到的评价结果基本一致。由于重金属元素有很强的毒性,并且能够在食物链中传递,有关部门应及早从流域环境综合规划入手,对重金属污染问题采取有力的控制对策,保护沿湖地区居民免受危害。此外,对巢湖表层沉积物中重金属污染物来源进行了初步分析,据分析结果判断,巢湖沉积物中重金属总量Co、Fe、Cr的来源相似,Zn和Cu的来源相似。

Distribution and Environmental Pollution Assessment of Heavy Metals in Surface Sediments of Chaohu Lake,China

There is a close correlation between heavy metals and human health.Heavy metal pollution problems are one of the important research issues for water environment scientists.In present paper,total concentrations of seven heavy metals,including Fe,Cr,Pb,Cu,Co,Zn and Ni were determined in surface sediments from 9 different sites of Chaohu Lake.Total metal concentrations in the surface sediments revealed significant pollution inputs on the whole lake investigated,with a distinct peak in the west area of the lake...
