渤海湾表层沉积物各形态重金属的分布特征与生态风险评价

根据2008年春对渤海湾的调查,通过分级萃取的实验方法以及总量和分形态风险评价的手段,重点研究了渤海湾表层沉积物各形态重金属的分布特征、影响因素和潜在生态风险.结果表明,重金属在渤海湾中央的泥质区富集,自然来源是控制V、Ni、Cu、Pb、Co和Cd分布的主要因素,而Zn和Cr较易受环境变化或人为输入等影响,其中Pb作为大气沉降和陆源输入都存在的重金属,其受控因素与其他重金属有一定差异.形态分析表明,V、Zn和Cr以残渣态为主,Co、Ni和Cu则是可浸取态占优势.其中Co的可浸取态质量分数在A断面先增加后降低,Ni的可浸取态质量分数在海河口附近A3站达最大值(98.86%),Cu和Pb的可浸取态高值区出现在A断面的中央区域,优势形态是铁锰氧化物结合态,Cu在湾口的A10站降到最小值(43.83%),在黄河口的D1站达最大值(73.89%).风险评价表明,重金属总量富集因子由大到小:Pb>Cd>Zn>Cr>V>Co>Cu>Ni,其中Pb、Cd和Zn的富集因子均大于1,但渤海湾沉积物总体质量良好,潜在生态风险较低.从形态角度评价,V和Cr基本无污染,Zn局部轻微污染,Co大部分轻度污染,Cu由无污染到中度污染,Ni由轻度污染到重度污染,Pb则属重度污染,其中Pb在渤海湾口A11站的P%(次生相与原生相分布比值)达1 329%.综合评价得出,Pb是渤海湾沉积物污染最严重的重金属,Cu和Zn有潜在污染,V、Cr和Co基本清洁.

Variation Characteristics and Potential Ecological Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in the Surface Sediments of Bohai Bay

The geochemical characteristics of eight heavy metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, V and Zn) in two sediment cores from Bohai Bay, North China, were studied. Sediment samples were collected from 27 stations in spring 2008.A sequential extractions, procedure was used to gain their fractionation information. Five operationally defined fractions were obtained by this protocol, i.e. exchangeable (L1), bound to carbonates (L2), bound to Fe/Mn-oxides (L3), bound to organic matter and sulphides (L4), and residual fraction (R5). Combined with ecological risk in total contents and fraction, a series of results and viewpoints with regard to distribution characteristics of heavy metals were presented, as well as ecological risk and controlling factors. Heavy metals in sediments were mainly concentrated in the middle region with fine particle. The distributions of V, Ni, Cu, Pb, Co, Cd were mainly controlled by nature source, while Zn and Cr can be easily impacted by environment or human input. Coming from atmospheric deposition and riverine, Pb was different with other heavy metals. Sequential extractions suggested that V, Zn, Cr were mainly composed with residual fractions, while Co, Ni, Cu were dominated by labile fractions. The percentage of labile Co increased from inner to outside, labile Ni reached maximum at station A3, labile Cu and Pb concentrated in the middle of Bohai Bay, while Cu achieved maximum at station D1 near Yellow River. Labile heavy metals were enriched near the estuary of Haihe River. The order of enrichment factors (EF) of heavy metals was Pb>Cd>Zn>Cr>V>Co>Cu>Ni. And the EF of Pb, Cd and Zn were above 1, suggesting that they could be polluted by exterior input, while the sediment quality was relatively good in general. The ratios of labile and residual fraction showed that V and Cr were clean, Zn was partly in slightly polluted, Co was mostly slightly polluted, Cu was from clean to moderately polluted, Ni was polluted from slightly to heavy, and Pb was polluted heaviest in all heavy metal. In conclusion, V, Cr and Co were clean, Cu and Zn may be polluted, while Pb was polluted heaviest.
