浙闽沿岸海域总溶解态无机锑的分布及影响因素研究

作为一种具有潜在致癌性的有毒稀有元素,锑已经广泛地存在于水体中并显现出较为严重的环境问题,引起科学界的广泛关注.利用氢化物发生原子荧光光谱法测定2008年5月浙闽沿岸海域水样中总溶解态无机锑(TDISb)的含量.结果表明,浙闽沿岸海域表、底层TDISb浓度的变化范围分别是0.68~5.64 nmol·L-1和0.71~5.25 nmol·L-1,平均含量分别为2.25、1.79 nmol·L-1,低于我国地表水环境质量标准和世界卫生组织规定的饮用水水质标准(约41.08 nmol·L-1).总溶解态无机锑表现出由沿岸向中央海区递减、表层高于底层的分布特征.影响浙闽沿岸海域溶解态无机锑分布的主要因素有水团混合,生物活动及悬浮颗粒物吸附解吸过程等.

Distributions and Influencing Factors of Total Dissolved Inorganic Antimony in the Coastal Area of Zhejiang and Fujian

Antimony has been ubiquitously present in the aquatic environment as a toxic and rare metalloid element. The contamination of antimony and its compounds in the environment is increasingly severe, so it has been received extensive attention by the international scientific community. The cruise was carried out in the coastal area of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces in the East China Sea (ECS) in May 2008. The concentrations of total dissolved inorganic antimony (TDISb) were measured by Hydride Generation-Atomic Fluorescence (HG-AFS). The concentration ranges of TDISb in the surface and bottom layer were 0.68-5.64 nmol·L^-1 and 0.71-5.25 nmol·L^-1 with averages of 2.25 and 1.79 nmol·L^-1, respectively. The concentration of TDISb in the study area was lower than the environmental quality standards for surface water of China and drinking water standards of World Health Organization (about 41.08 nmol·L^-1), indicating that it remained at the pristine level. The concentration of TDISb decreased gradually from the coastal area to the central ECS shelf with higher concentration in the surface layer than the bottom. Water mass mixing, adsorption/desorption behavior on the surface of the suspended particulate matters (SPM) and biological activities were the main influence factors of TDISb biogeochemistry in the study area.
