“…Similar to the indication of some previous publications such as Wenning and Ingersoll (2002) and Hinkey and Zaidi (2007), based on the results of the present study, it is recommended that the assessment of heavy metal pollution in sediments should be validated with laboratory toxicity tests, benthic community analyses, bio-accumulation tests, or a combination of these when using SQGs to make decisions or take management actions to mitigate or remediate toxic effects from sedimentary metals in any water ecosystem.…”

“…The high content of heavy metals in its sediment was likely to be derived from anthropogenic activities. Ferry activities-related metals such as Cu and Zn are usually released from the anti-corrosion paints used on ship hulls during the maintenance of ships (Guillen et al, 1993;Hinkey et al, 2005;Hinkey and Zaidi, 2007). The excessive input of Cd into aquatic environments induced by the utilization of phosphorus fertilizer has been widely reported (Lambert et al, 2007;Zhang and Shan, 2008).…”

“…They are empirical approaches based on total concentrations of metals (Long et al, 1995;Hinkey and Zaidi, 2007). Acid volatile sulfidessimultaneously extractable metals (AVS-SEM) guideline is based on the relationship between the molar concentrations of AVS ([AVS], lmol g À1 ) and SEM ([SEM], lmol g À1 ) and has been proposed as a possible indicator of metal toxicity in sediments (Long et al, 1998;Liu et al, 2010) Toro et al, 1990;Ankley et al, 1996;USEPA, 2004;Di Toro et al, 2005).…”

a b s t r a c tSurface sediments in the Xiaoqinghe estuary, southwestern coastal Laizhou Bay, were examined to assess the bio-toxic risk of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) with the effects range-low and effects rangemedian guidelines (ERL-ERMs) and the concentration ratio of simultaneously extractable metals to acid volatile sulfides ([SEM]/[AVS]). Based on the ERL-ERM guidelines, bio-toxic effect caused by Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn could be expected in the riverine surface sediments of the Xiaoqinghe estuary; and the surface sediments in the marine area were in good quality and only Ni might cause bio-toxic effect occasionally. The AVS-SEM guidelines revealed that no bio-toxic effect could be caused by any of the studied metals in both the riverine and marine sediments, since there were excess sulfides in surface sediments which could form water-insoluble substances with free metal ions and reduce the bioavailability of heavy metals.

“…A standard sodium sulfide was used to checking the recovery rate and calibration the AVS method by developing a calibration curve (Allen et al 1993;Hinkey and Zaidi 2007). Quality assurance of AVS extraction was controlled by calibrating the procedure versus specified amounts of Na 2 S·9H 2 O (Durán et al 2012), and recovery rates were within 86-96 %, showing high performance method of extraction.…”

Sediment samples from the coastal area of Asaluyeh harbor were collected during autumn and spring 2015. The acidvolatile sulfide (AVS) and simultaneously extracted metals (SEMs) were measured to assess the sediment quality and potential ecological risks. The average concentrations (and relative standard deviation (RSD)) of AVS in the industrial sediments were 12.32 μmol/g (36.91) and 6.34 μmol/g (80.05) in autumn and spring, respectively, while in the urban area, these values were 0.44 μmol/g (123.50) and 0.31 μmol/g (160.0) in autumn and spring, respectively. The average concentrations of SEM (and RSD) in the industrial sediments were 15.02 μmol/g (14.38) and 12.34 μmol/g (20.65) in autumn and spring, respectively, while in the urban area, these values were 1.10 μmol/g (43.03) and 1.06 μmol/g (55.59) in autumn and spring, respectively. Zn was the predominant component (34.25-86.24 %) of SEM, while the corresponding value for Cd, much more toxic ingredient, was less than 1 %. Some of the coastal sediments in the harbor of Asaluyeh (20 and 47 % in autumn and spring, respectively) had expected adverse biological effects based on the suggested criterion by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), while most stations (80 and 53 % in autumn and spring, respectively) had uncertain adverse effects.

“…Hence, the AVS approach is suitable for heavy metal toxicity assessment in ecosystems. So far, there are a number of reports on sediment quality assessment by [SEM] Hinkey and Zaidi, 2007;Prica et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2010;Simpson et al, 2012;Gao et al, 2013), but there are only a few studies using Burton et al, 2005;Di Toro et al, 2005;De Jonge et al, 2012a;De Jonge et al, 2012b).…”

Acid-volatile sulfide and simultaneously extracted metals in surface sediments of the southwestern coastal Laizhou Bay, Bohai Sea: Concentrations, spatial distributions and the indication of heavy metal pollution status

a b s t r a c tSurface sediments were collected from the coastal waters of southwestern Laizhou Bay and the rivers it connects with during summer and autumn 2012. The acid-volatile sulfide (AVS) and simultaneously extracted metals (SEM) were measured to assess the sediment quality. The results showed that not all sediments with [SEM]-[AVS] > 0 were capable of causing toxicity because the organic carbon is also an important metal-binding phase in sediments. Suppose the sediments had not been disturbed and the criteria of US Environmental Protection Agency had been followed, heavy metals in this area had no adverse biological effects in both seasons except for few riverine samples. The major ingredient of SEM was Zn, whereas the contribution of Cd -the most toxic metal studied -to SEM was <1%. The distributions of AVS and SEM in riverine sediments were more easily affected by anthropogenic activity compared with those in marine sediments.
