月亮泡底泥中元素的分布及其生态风险评价

对吉林省西部月亮泡底泥中元素的空间分布、来源以及重金属的潜在生态风险进行了研究。与吉林省中西部土壤中元素平均值相比,月亮泡表层底泥中明显富Hg、Pb、Ca、N,而相对贫As、Co、Mn、Th、Cl、Na。在湖底表层底泥中,As、Hg、U、Cd、Cu、Zn、Cr、Se、Mo、Co、Ni、Mn、N、P、MgO、Fe2O3、CaO、有机碳与Al2O3呈明显的正相关关系,表明它们的地球化学性质与粘土矿物的含量密切相关。表层底泥中Hg、Cd、As、Cr、Cu、Zn、Pb的潜在生态危害性均很小。在月亮泡的两个沉积柱中,元素含量随深度的变化不尽相同。在沉积柱1中,Fe2O3、Mn、P、Zn、Cu、Ni、Co、Cr、Cd等元素含量随深度变化不大,表明其沉积环境较为稳定。在沉积柱2中,元素含量波动较大,表明该沉积柱的沉积环境较为动荡,并在76～80cm和104～108cm处,As、Fe2O3、Mn、P、Cu、Zn、Co、Ni、Cd、Th、U等含量急剧增高;在70～90cm处Mn/Fe比值高,表明当时干旱少雨、沉积环境较为氧化,在104～108cm处Rb/Sr比高,可能反映当时高温多雨、化学风化作用较为强烈。两个沉积柱的Cr/Th比基本相似,表明沉积柱的物源基本相同。沉积柱中重金属的潜在生态危害程度也很小,表明从垂向上进入月亮泡水体的重金属污染物数量也很少。

Investigation of Element Distribution and Ecological Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in Sediments of Yueliang Lake

This paper presents an investigation conducted in Yueliang Lake of Jilin Province to examine the elements spatial distribution in a lake sediments, as well as the relevant ecological risk assessment of heavy metals. According to the investigation, it is found that elements such as Hg, Pb, Ca and N are apparently rich in the surface sediment, while As, Co, Mn, Th, Cl and Na are sparse in comparison with the baseline values in soils of the mid-western Jilin. Based on the analysis the correlation analysis reveals the close relationship existed between the geo-chemical behaviors and clay contents. Analysis of two sediment cores for studying the element variation in different depths shows that the rather sharp variation of element content in the Core No. 2 is attributable to historical turbulence of the environment, e.g, unusual weather. It is unlikely that heavy metals in the sediments (superficial and deep) will lead to any potential ecological risk, according to the ecological risk assessment
