The article presents the results for enrichment of total trace metals (TTMs) from Pallikaranai salt marsh in South Chennai, a metropolis on the southeast coast of India. TTMs Fe, Mn, Cr, Cu, Ni, Co, Pb, Zn, Cd, Sr, V, and Hg along with sediment texture, OC, and CaCO3 were analyzed in 36 surface sediments collected during August 2008 to recognize and observe the input of TTMs in the marsh from various sources in the city limits. In view of the rapid urbanization and industrialization in Chennai City, especially on the southern side, uncontrolled input of sewage, garbage, and industrial effluents into the Pallikaranai marsh land, the elevated concentrations are not surprising. The level of enrichment of TTMs has also increased by 20% to 60% for most of the elements when compared with all other ecosystems in the world as well as the nearby area. The results also indicate that the marshy region is more heavily contaminated with Cd, Hg, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn than other regions on the southeast coast of India. The Enrichment Factor, Contamination Factor, and I geo indexes are calculated, and these values are useful to assess the degree of pollution in sediments. The spatial distributions of TTMs are also controlled by other factors like geochemical, precipitation, and flocculation of particulate substances in the marsh. The results of the present study suggest the need for a regular monitoring and management program which will help to improve the quality of Pallikaranai pristine marsh land. 相似文献

An acid leachable technique is employed in core samples (C1, C2 and C3) to develop a baseline data on the sediment quality for trace metals of River Uppanar, Cuddalore, southeast coast of India. Acid leachable metals (Fe, Mn, Cr, Cu, Ni, Co, Pb, Zn and Cd) indicate peak values at the sulphidic phase and enrichment of metals in the surface layers are due to the anthropogenic activities. Association of trace metals with Fe, Mn indicates their adsorption onto Fe-Mn oxyhydroxides and their correlation with S indicate that they are precipitated as metal sulphides. Factor analysis identified three possible types of geochemical associations and the supremacy of trace metals along with Fe, Mn, S and mud supports their geochemical associations. Factor analysis also signifies that anthropogenic activities have affected both the estuarine and fresh water regions of River Uppanar. 相似文献

The study of heavy metal distribution in coastal surface sediments is an important component in understanding the exogenic cycling as well as in assessing the effect of anthropogenic influences on the marine ecosystem. In this study, surface sediment samples were collected from five different traverses along the innershelf of Bay of Bengal, off Chennai, India during pre- and post-monsoon seasons. The results of Spearmen correlation matrix, factor and cluster analysis, enrichment and contamination factor analysis, and geoaccumulation index of the heavy metals analyzed in the collected surface sediment were discussed. The level of both enrichment and contamination factor are shown in following order Cd > Cu > Cr > Ni > Pb > Co > Zn > Mn > Fe > Hg. The geoaccumulation index suggests that Cd and Cu are strongly to extremely pollute the sediments in both seasons. The results strongly indict anthropogenic sources for moderate input of Cd and Cu in to the innershelf of Chennai coast. 相似文献

Trace metal enrichments in core sediments in Muthupet mangroves, SE coast of India: application of acid leachable technique 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Core sediments from Mullipallam Creek of Muthupet mangroves on the southeast coast of India were analyzed for texture, CaCO(3), organic carbon, sulfur and acid leachable trace metals (Fe, Mn, Cr, Cu, Ni, Co, Pb, Zn and Cd). Textural analysis reveals a predominance of mud while CaCO(3) indicates dissolution in the upper half of the core, and reprecipitation of carbonates in reduction zones. Trace metals are diagenetically modified and anthropogenic processes control Pb and, to some extent, Ni, Zn and Fe. A distinct event is identified at 90 cm suggesting a change in deposition. Strong relationship of trace metals with Fe indicates that they are associated with Fe-oxyhydroxides. The role of carbonates in absorbing trace metals is evident from their positive relationship with trace metals. Comparison of acid leachable trace metals indicates increase in concentrations in the study area and the sediments act as a sink for trace metals contributed from multiple sources. 相似文献

Hydrogeochemistry and Groundwater Quality Assessment of Lower Part of the Ponnaiyar River Basin, Cuddalore District, South India 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

The Lower Ponnaiyar River Basin forms an important groundwater province in South India constituted by Tertiary formations
dominated by sandstones and overlain by alluvium. The region enjoyed artesian conditions 50 years back but at present frequent
failure of monsoon and over exploitation is threatening the aquifer. Further, extensive agricultural and industrial activities
and urbanization has resulted in the increase in demand and contamination of the aquifer. To identify the sources and quality
of groundwater, water samples from 47 bore wells were collected in an area of 154 km2 and were analysed for major ions and trace metals. The results reveal that the groundwater in many places is contaminated
by higher concentrations of NO3, Cl, PO4 and Fe. Four major hydrochemical facies Ca–Mg–Cl, Na–Cl, Ca–HCO3 and Na–HCO3 were identified using Piper trilinear diagram. Salinity, sodium adsorption ratio, and sodium percentage indicate that most
of the groundwater samples are not suitable for irrigation as well as for domestic purposes and far from drinking water standards.
The most serious pollution threat to groundwater is from nitrate ions, which are associated with sewage and fertilizers application.
The present state of the quality of the lower part of Ponnaiyar River Basin is of great concern and the higher concentration
of toxic metals (Fe and Ni) may entail various health hazards. 相似文献
