Different sources of pollution in Karasu Creek were investigated to obtain the water quality and ratio of contamination in
this region. To achieve the main objectives of the present study, water samples were collected from Karasu Creek, starting
from flow pattern at the upstream site of Akkaya Dam to the end of the dam, crossing the place where the Creek drains into.
Dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, temperature and maximum/minimum pH were measured systematically for 12 months in
the stations, where the water samples were collected. Chemical analyses of the water samples were carried out by using Cadas
50 S brand UV spectrometer to find out the Pb, Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni, Cr, Cd, S, F and Cn concentrations. These concentration were
determined in μg/lt as 80–850; 180–4,920; 10–6,100; 440–25,530; 130–2,400; 120–280; 20–150; 214,250–1,113,580; 1,560–4,270
and 40–690, respectively. To determine metal levels of the water samples, multivariate analyses (element coefficient correlation,
coefficient correlation dendrogram, hierarchical cluster analysis dendrogram, model summary and ANOVA) were used. The analyses
yielded highly accurate results. There were positive correlations between some elements and their possible sources were the
same. The stations which resembled each other along the creek were divided into three groups. The water quality of the creek
was low and had toxic qualities. Eutrophication developed in Akkaya Dam along the creek. The source of pollution was thought
to be industrial and residential wastes. Absolute (0–100 m), short distance (100–500 m) and medium distance (500–2,000 m)
conservation areas should be determined in pollution areas along Karasu Creek and they should be improved. 相似文献

Twenty-one surface sediment samples were collected from Akkaya Dam. Heavy metal concentrations (Mo, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, Mn,
Fe, Cr, As, V and Cd), grain size, organic carbon and carbonate contents were studied in order to assess the extent of environmental
pollution and to discuss the origin of these contaminants in sediments of dam. The sediments in the study area are mostly
very fine sands. However, mud was observed in the northeast of the dam. Sediment pollution assessment was carried out using
enrichment factor. The calculation of enrichment factors showed that Mo is depleted by 1.0 whereas Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, Mn,
As, V, Cr and Cd are enriched by 3, 5.4, 7, 2.7, 2.2, 3.4, 42.3, 2.1, 1.8 and 7.2, respectively. Relatively high concentrations
heavy metals occurred in north (textile industry area) and east (Karasu River) due to enrichment controlled by anthropogenic
wastes. The results of correlation analysis show low–medium positive and negative correlations among metals, grain size, carbonate
contents and organic carbon and indicate that heavy metals in sediments of the Akkaya Dam have different anthropogenic sources. 相似文献

Waters and sediments of Subin River, which flows through the industrial and commercial areas of Kumasi in the Ashanti region
of Ghana, were geochemically investigated to ascertain heavy metal pollution levels due to anthropogenic activities. The study
shows preoccupying pollution levels that constitute a threat to public and ecological systems. The waters of Subin River are
neutral to slightly basic, inferred from pH values of 6.89–7.65). Electric conductivity (EC) of the waters ranges from 822
to 1,821 μs/cm and the range of total dissolved solids (TDS) is from 409 to 913 mg/l. Toxic elements contents of sediments
and waters from 10 sites along the river were analysed by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA), and Al, As, Cd,
Cr, Cu and Zn were determined. The concentrations of Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu and Zn in the waters range between 4.02–15.18, 0.007–0.16,
0.002–0.05, 0.001–0.019, 1.32–7.04 and 4.28–10.2 mg/l, respectively. The contamination factors (CF) computed for the elements
indicate that with the exception of sampling site S10, the sediments are polluted with Cd. Chromium contamination in the sediments
is observed at S6 and S7, where the CF values were 1.39 and 1.52, respectively. The pollution load indices (PLI) were low
(<1) and ranged from 0.14 to 0.75, suggesting that the overall sediment column of the river is not polluted. 相似文献

Impact of poor solid waste management on ground water 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Eight sediment cores recovered from Tamaki Estuary were analysed for Cu, Pb, Zn, and Cd using downward cored sub-samples.
The results indicate a significant upward enrichment in heavy metals with the highest concentrations found in the uppermost
0–10 cm layer. Assessment of heavy metal pollution in marine sediments requires knowledge of pre-anthropogenic metal concentrations
to act as a reference against which measured values can be compared. Pristine values for the cored sediments were determined
from flat “base-line” metal trends evident in lower core samples. Various methods for calculating metal enrichment and contamination
factors are reviewed in detail and a modified and more robust version of the procedure for calculating the degree of contamination
is proposed. The revised procedure allows the incorporation of a flexible range of pollutants, including various organic species,
and the degree of contamination is expressed as an average ratio rather than an absolute summation number. Comparative data
for normalized enrichment factors and the modified degree of contamination show that Tamaki Estuary sediments have suffered
significant systematic heavy metal contamination following catchment urbanization. Compared to baseline values the uppermost
sediment layers show four-fold enrichment averaged across eight cores and four analysed metals. 相似文献

Distribution of heavy metals in water, particulate matter and sediments of Gediz River (Eastern Aegean) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The present paper is the first document of heavy metal levels in surficial sediment, water and particulate matter of the Gediz
River collected from five different sites in August, October 1998, February, June 1999. The present work attempts to establish
the status of distribution and environmental implications of metals in the sediment, water and particulate matter and their
possible sources of derivation. The concentrations of mercury ranged 0.037–0.81, 120–430; lead 0.59–1.5, 190–8,100; copper
0.24–1.6, 30–180; zinc 0.19–2.9, 10–80; manganese 30–170, 20–490; nickel 0.39–9.0, 100–510; iron 1.3–687, 100–6,200 μg/l in
water and particulate matter, respectively. The maximum values in water were generally obtained in summer periods due to industrial
and agricultural activities at Muradiye. The particulate metal concentrations also generally showed increased levels from
the upper Gediz to the mouth of the river. Calculation of metal partition coefficients shows that the relative importance
of the particulate and the water phases varies in response to water hydrochemistry and suspended solid content, but that most
elements achieve a conditional equilibrium in the Gediz River. The metals ranged between Hg: 0.25–0.49, Cr: 59–814, Pb: 38–198,
Cu: 15–148, Zn: 34–196, Mn: 235–1,371, Ni: 35–175, and Fe: 10,629–72,387 mg/kg in sediment. The significant increase of metals
found in Muradiye suggested a pollution effect, related to anthropogenic wastes. Also, relatively high concentrations of Ni
and Mn occurred in sampling site upstream, due to geochemical composition of the sediments. Maximum values of contamination
factor for metals were noticed for sediment of Muradiye. The sampling stations have very high degree of contamination indicating
serious anthropogenic pollution. 相似文献

Enrichment and fractionation of heavy metals in bed sediments of River Narmada, India 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A metal fractionation study on bed sediments of River Narmada in Central India has been carried out to examine the enrichment
and partitioning of different metal species between five geochemical phases (exchangeable fraction, carbonate fraction, Fe/Mn
oxide fraction, organic fraction and residual fraction). The river receives toxic substances through a large number of tributaries
and drains flowing in the catchment of the river. The toxic substances of particular interest are heavy metals derived from
urban runoff as well as municipal sewage and industrial effluents. Heavy metals entering the river get adsorbed onto the suspended
sediments, which in due course of time settle down in the bottom of the river. In this study fractionation of metal ions has
been carried out with the objective to determine the eco-toxic potential of metal ions. Although, in most cases (except iron)
the average trace/heavy metal concentrations in sediments were higher than the standard shale values, the risk assessment
code as applied to the present study reveals that only about 1–3% of manganese, <1% of copper, 16–19% of nickel, 4–20% of
chromium, 1–4% of lead, 8–13% of cadmium and 1–3% of zinc exist in exchangeable fraction and therefore falls under low to
medium risk category. According to the Geo-accumulation Index (GAI), cadmium shows high accumulation in the river sediments,
rest of other metals are under unpolluted to moderately polluted class. 相似文献

Concentrations of heavy metals were determined in the water column (including the sea-surface microlayer, subsurface, mid-depth
and bottom water) and sediments from Singapore’s coastal environment. The concentration ranges for As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb
and Zn in the seawater dissolved phase (DP) were 0.34–2.04, 0.013–0.109, 0.07–0.35, 0.23–1.16, 0.28–0.78, 0.009–0.062 and
0.97–3.66 μg L−1 respectively. The ranges for Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in the suspended particulate matter (SPM) were 0.16–0.73, 6.72–53.93,
12.87–118.29, 4.34–60.71, 1.10–6.08 and 43.09–370.49 μg g−1, respectively. Heavy metal concentrations in sediments ranged between 0.054–0.217, 37.48–50.52, 6.30–21.01, 13.27–26.59,
24.14–37.28 and 48.20–62.36 μg g−1 for Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn, respectively. The lowest concentrations of metals in the DP and SPM were most frequently found
in the subsurface water while the highest concentrations were mostly observed in the SML and bottom water. Overall, heavy
metals in both the dissolved and particulate fractions have depth profiles that show a decreasing trend of concentrations
from the subsurface to the bottom water, indicating that the prevalence of metals is linked to the marine biological cycle.
In comparison to data from Greece, Malaysia and USA, the levels of metals in the DP are considered to be low in Singapore.
Higher concentrations of particulate metals were reported for the Northern Adriatic Sea and the Rhine/Meuse estuary in the
Netherlands compared to values reported in this study. The marine sediments in Singapore are not heavily contaminated when
compared to metal levels in marine sediments from other countries such as Thailand, Japan, Korea, Spain and China. 相似文献

Stormwater ponds are commonly used in residential and commercial areas to control flooding. The accumulation of urban contaminants
in stormwater ponds can lead to water-quality problems including nutrient enrichment, chemical contamination, and bacterial
contamination. This study presents 5 years of monitoring data assessing water quality of a residential subdivision pond and
adjacent tidal creek in coastal South Carolina, USA. The stormwater pond is eutrophic, as described by elevated concentrations
of chlorophyll and phosphorus, and experiences periodic cyanobacterial blooms. A maximum monthly average chlorophyll concentration
of 318.75 μg/L was measured in the stormwater pond and 227.63 μg/L in the tidal creek. Fecal coliform bacteria (FCB) levels
were measured in both the pond and the tidal creek that exceeded health and safety standards for safe recreational use. A
maximum monthly average FCB level of 1,247 CFU/100 mL was measured in the stormwater pond and 12,850 CFU/100 mL in the tidal
creek. In addition, the presence of antibiotic resistant bacteria and pathogenic bacteria were detected. Low concentrations
of herbicides (atrazine and 2,4-D), a fungicide (chlorothalonil), and insecticides (pyrethroids and imidacloprid) were measured. Seasonal trends were identified,
with the winter months having the lowest concentrations of chlorophyll and FCB. Statistical differences between the stormwater
pond and the tidal creek were also noted within seasons. The tidal creek had higher FCB levels than the stormwater pond in
the spring and summer, whereas the stormwater pond had higher chlorophyll levels than the tidal creek in the summer and fall
seasons. Chlorophyll and FCB levels in the stormwater pond were significantly correlated with monthly average temperature
and total rainfall. Pesticide concentrations were also significantly correlated with temperature and rainfall. Pesticide concentrations
in the stormwater pond were significantly correlated with pesticide concentrations in the adjacent tidal creek. Chlorophyll
and FCB levels in the tidal creek, however, were not significantly correlated with levels in the pond. While stormwater ponds
are beneficial in controlling flooding, they may pose environmental and human health risks due to biological and chemical
contamination. Management to reduce residential runoff may improve water quality in coastal stormwater ponds and their adjacent
estuarine ecosystems. 相似文献

Sediment and suspended particulate matter samples from 24 stations in the Gulf of Kavala have been examined for lead contamination. Grain size analysis and organic matter content were also performed. Total – anthropogenic sediment lead concentrations and enrichment factors at stations close to harbors and chemical industries were found higher (up to 209–135μg/g and 4.12 respectively), in relation to concentrations from the rest of the coastal zone. In the above areas, increased suspended particulate lead in the bottom of the water column was also recorded (up to 109μg/g). Total sediment lead concentrations composed of high natural Pb background increased with decreasing grain size, suggesting their association with the fine fractions of the sediments (31.1–66.0% mud presence) and the organic matter content (6–9% higher values). Overall, higher total lead concentrations in the sediments, determined by this work, appear to be significantly different from those reported for the Gulf of Kavala in previous studies and similar to those detected in other highly contaminated eastern Mediterranean coastal areas. 相似文献

Distribution and contamination assessment of heavy metals in sediment of the Second Songhua River, China 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The Second Songhua River was subjected to a large amount of raw or primary effluent from chemical industries in Jilin city
in 1960s to 1970s, resulting in serious mercury pollution. However, an understanding of other trace metal pollution has remained
unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate trace metal contamination in the sediment of the river. Bottom sediment
samples were taken in the river between Jilin city and Haerbin city in 2005. An uncontaminated sediment profile was taken
in the Nen River at the same time. Total concentrations of Al, Fe, Mg, Ca, K, Na, Ti, Mn, V, Sc, Co, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb and Zn
in the sediment samples were measured by ICP-MS or ICP-OES, following digestion with various acids. Concentrations of Co,
Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb and Zn in the surface sediments were 5.1–14.7, 18.5–78.9, 2.4–75.4, 7.2–29.0, 13.5–124.4, and 21.8–403.1 mg/kg,
respectively, generally decreasing along the course of the river from Jilin city to Haerbin city. Background concentrations
of trace metals were reconstructed by geochemical normalization to a conservative element scandium. Results showed that concentrations
of Co, Cr, and Ni in the sediment were generally only slightly higher than or equal to their background values, while concentrations
of Cu, Pb, and Zn in the some sediment samples were significantly higher than their background values. In detail, the sediment
at Jilin city was moderately contaminated by Cu, and the sediment of the Second Songhua River was moderately contaminated
by Pb and Zn. The top layer (0–10 cm depth) and bottom layers (30–46 cm depth) of one sediment profile at Wukeshu town were
generally moderately polluted by Pb and Zn. Synthetically, the surface sediment in the studied river section was classified
as natural sediment without ecological risk by the sediment pollution index (SPI) of Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb and Zn. Only the 30–45 cm
depth of the sediment profile at Wukeshu town was classified as low polluted sediment by the SPI of these metals, recording
a historical contamination of the river in the 1960s to 1970s. This buried contamination of trace metals might pose a potential
risk to water column under disturbance of sediment.
