“…e behavior of the metals in natural waters is determined by the water chemistry and sediment composition [2]. Geological weathering, soil erosion, airborne dust, atmospheric transportation-precipitation, and anthropogenic activities including fertilizer leaching, sewage discharge, industrial wastewater, and urban construction are factors that enable heavy metals to enter the lakes [4]. Hydrological cycles, physical-chemical processes, and complex spatiotemporal variation enable remobilization of heavy metals from sediments into the water [5].…”

The concentrations of thirteen metals (Al, As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, V, and Zn) were analyzed in waters and sediments of the Badovci Lake. The total metal concentrations in the water followed the descending order: Fe > Al > Mn > Cu > Ba > Zn > As > Ni > Pb > V > Co > Cd > Cr, and the total metal content in the sediments also followed the descending order: Fe > Al > Mn > Ni > Cr > Pb > Ba > Zn > V > Cu > As > Co > Cd. According to EC 98/83, Al, Fe, and Mn at some sampling sites exceeded safety limits for drinking water, whereas other elements were at acceptable levels. The total content of Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and V in the sediments exceeded the target values of the New Dutch List. Using pollution indicators such as the contamination factor (CF) and geoaccumulation index (Igeo), most of the samples were unpolluted to moderately polluted by Cu, Cr, Pb, V, and Ni. The values of the pollution load index (PLI) were more than one (>1), indicating progressive deterioration of the sediment quality. The enrichment factor (EF) for all the studied metals suggests their enrichments in sediments of the Badovci Lake. Most of the elements were found in the residual fraction strongly bonded to the crystalline component. Pb, Mn, and Cu were bound in the organic and exchangeable components. The extent of pollution by heavy metals in sediments of the Badovci Lake implies that the environmental condition is relatively stable, and attention should be paid to metals bonded in the extractable and organic phases. It is recommended to periodically monitor water and sediment quality.

“…Heavy metals are concerning pollutants because they are not biodegradable and, once they reach a certain concentration, are quite harmful to the environment [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Lakes are one place where heavy metals are a concern as the accumulation of heavy metals in the sediment of lakes results in pollution that can accumulate in organisms, where it can become toxic.…”

Assessment of the Distribution, Sources and Potential Ecological Risk of Heavy Metals in the Dry Surface Sediment of Aibi Lake in Northwest China

The distribution, sources and potential ecological risk of heavy metals in the sediment of lakes in eastern China and other areas of the world that have undergone rapid economic development have been widely researched by scholars. However, this is not true for heavy metals in the sediment of rump lakes in the arid regions of China and world-wide. Because of this, we chose Aibi Lake to serve as a typical rump lake in an oasis in an arid area in northwest China for our study. Sediment samples were collected from the lake and then the quantities of the heavy metals Pb, Ni, Cd, Cu, Zn, Hg and Cr were measured. Then using a variety of statistical methods, we analyzed the distribution, sources, pollution status and the potential ecological risk of these metals. The results show that: (1) The amounts of the seven heavy metals all fell within the Second Soil National Standard, but the average and maximum values were all higher than the background values of Xinjiang in northwest China. (2) Multivariate statistical analysis determined that the Cd, Pb, Hg and Zn in the sediment were mainly derived from man-sources, and Cu, Ni, and Cr were mainly from the natural geological background. (3) Enrichment factor analysis and the geo-accumulation index evaluation method show that Cd, Hg and Pb in the surface sediment of the Aibi Lake were at low and partial pollution levels, while Zn, Cr, Ni and Cu were at no and low pollution levels. (4) Calculation of the potential ecological hazards index found that, among the seven tested heavy metals, Cd, Hg and Pb were the main potential ecological risk factors, and the contribution of each was 42.6%, 28.6%, and 24.0%, respectively. Cd is the main potential ecological risk factor, followed by Hg and Pb. This work revealed that recent economic development of the Aibi Lake Basin has negatively influenced the accumulation of heavy metals in the sediments of the lake, and, therefore, we should pay increasing attention to this problem and take effective measures to protect the ecology of the Aibi Lake Basin. This work can provide a scientific basis for an early warning of heavy metal pollution and for protection of the environment. Furthermore, it can serve as a reference when creating policies for the economic development in Aibi Lake Basin and environmental protection of rump lakes in arid regions of northwest China and other areas of the world.

“…In Hazar Lake, heavy metals concentrations were highest in spring and autumn (Karadede-Akın, 2009). Kankılıç et al (2013) showed Fe, Mn, Cu, As, Pb and Hg levels were highest in summer and lowest in autumn. In aquatic systems, metals are transported either in solution or on the surface of suspended sediments (Dawson and Macklin, 1998).…”

Abstract:This paper presents data on the concentrations of ten heavy metal levels in water and sediment sampled from Işıklı Lake (Turkey) as seasonally (October-2012, January-2013, April-2013, July-2013 and shows relationships between physico-chemical parameters and levels of heavy metals. Temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and electrical conductivity were measured. In water, Pb was below detection limit (<0.005) in all seasons, while Cu (<0.0005) was in autumn and winter. Fe had the highest level and Cd had the lowest level among the analyzed metals. Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Se reached the highest levels in summer, while Cd, Mo and Zn were in spring. Cd, Cr, Mo and Zn in autumn, Cu and Se in spring, and Fe, Mn, and Ni in winter were the lowest. Cd, Cu and Mo levels varied significantly (p<0.05) from season to season. There were positive relationships among temperature, pH value (p<0.05) and EC. Significant negative correlation (<0.01) was determined between temperature and dissolved oxygen. Significant (Cr, Cu, Mn and Zn) and non-significant (Cd, Fe, Mo, Ni and Se) positive correlations were detected between content in water and temperature. There were positive correlations between pH and dissolved oxygen, while negative correlation with EC. When the pH value increased, only Mo level decreased. Dissolved oxygen levels had a positive relationship with EC and all studied metals except Cu. There were positive relationships between EC and Cd, Cr, Mn, Mo and Zn, the others were significant negative (<0.01). In sediment, Se was below detection limit in winter, other metals were detected in all seasons. Fe was the highest while Cd was the lowest in sediment. Cd, Cr, Mn, Mo, Ni and Zn reached the highest levels in spring, while Fe in winter, Cu in autumn, Pb in summer. Cr, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb and Zn in winter, Cd and Se in autumn, Cu in summer and Fe in spring were the lowest. Cd, Cu and Mo levels varied significantly (p<0.05) from season to season.
