Geologic processes strongly influence water and sediment quality in aquatic ecosystems but rarely are geologic principles incorporated into routine biomonitoring studies. We test if elevated concentrations of metals in water and sediment are restricted to streams downstream of mines or areas that may discharge mine wastes. We surveyed 198 catchments classified as "historically mined" or "unmined," and based on mineral-deposit criteria, to determine whether water and sediment quality were influenced by naturally occurring mineralized rock, by historical mining, or by a combination of both. By accounting for different geologic sources of metals to the environment, we were able to distinguish aquatic ecosystems limited by metals derived from natural processes from those due to mining. Elevated concentrations of metals in water and sediment were not restricted to mined catchments; depauperate aquatic communities were found in unmined catchments. The type and intensity of hydrothermal alteration and the mineral deposit type were important determinants of water and sediment quality as well as the aquatic community in both mined and unmined catchments. This study distinguished the effects of different rock types and geologic sources of metals on ecosystems by incorporating basic geologic processes into reference and baseline site selection, resulting in a refined assessment. Our results indicate that biomonitoring studies should account for natural sources of metals in some geologic environments as contributors to the effect of mines on aquatic ecosystems, recognizing that in mining-impacted drainages there may have been high pre-mining background metal concentrations. 相似文献

Recent work has demonstrated that many trace metals undergo dramatic diel (24-h) cycles in near neutral pH streams with metal
concentrations reproducibly changing up to 500% during the diel period (Nimick et al., 2003). To examine diel zinc cycles in streams affected by acid rock drainage, we have developed a novel instrument, the Zn-DigiScan,
to continuously monitor in situ zinc concentrations in near real-time. Initial results from a 3-day deployment at Fisher Creek,
Montana have demonstrated the ability of the Zn-DigiScan to record diel Zn cycling at levels below 100 μg/l. Longer deployments
of this instrument could be used to examine the effects of episodic events such as rainstorms and snowmelt pulses on zinc
loading in streams affected by acid rock drainage. 相似文献

中国煤中氟的含量及其分布 总被引:18,自引:1,他引:18
在全国主要产煤的26个省、市和自治区根据各煤田的地质储量、成煤时期和煤变质程度,兼顾各矿区的煤炭产量,采集305个煤样,用高温热水解-离子选择性电极法测定了全部样品的氟含量.煤中的氟主要以无机形态赋存,氟含量和变质程度之间没有必然的联系.成煤时代等单一因素对氟含量的影响可能为其它各种因素的综合作用所掩盖,对此有必要进行更深入、具体的研究研究了各省、市和自治区的煤氟含量的分布,有必要重新审视、甄别燃煤型氟中毒区氟的来源.全国煤的氟含量服从对数正态分布,90%的样品含氟范围为47~347mg/kg,宜用几何平均值136mg/kg作为全国平均煤氟含量.与世界煤相比,中国煤氟含量并无异常. 相似文献
