“…Several studies have been conducted on heavy metal contamination throughout the world, including Iran (e.g., Baptista Neto et al, 2001;Secrierus and Secrierus, 2002;Moreno et al, 2009;Yap and Pang, 2011;Bastami et al, 2012Bastami et al, , 2014Bramha et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2015). The concentrations of the heavy metals studied in this study were markedly higher than those of other regions, in most cases.…”

“…These metals were determined to be higher than upper effect threshold (UET) concentrations, except ISQG high Cr value. We observed that these metals in the Uluabat sediment had similar concentrations compared to the other lakes [28][29][30][31][32]. The concentrations of the metals Cr, Pb, and Ni in soils from the Southern Marmara Region, where tomatoes are cultivated on an industrial scale, were found to exceed the relevant limits.…”

“…Although such guidelines are not definitive indicators of toxicology, they can have a high predictive ability and are vital tools for identifying areas with potential adverse biological effects [28]. Concentrations of studied metals in Lake Uluabat sediment, geochemical background, and the toxicological reference values for sediments are given in Table 3.…”

“…Relationships are expected to be significant in waters where anoxic conditions are common [2]. The heavy metals were mainly of natural origin due to weathering and erosion [28]. The absence of strong correlation among metals suggests that the concentrations of these metals were not controlled by a single factor, but a combination of geochemical support phases and their mixed associations [22].…”

Expanding urban populations, traditional and developing technologies, and intensive agricultural production have greatly increased the amount of wastewater generated in Turkey and many other countries. Levels of contaminants have also grown, including both organic (e.g., pesticides, petroleum hydrocarbons) and inorganic (e.g., metals) chemicals. The wastewater treatment capacity of the region has fallen far short of the level needed to meet the demand of multiple sectors. As a result, untreated and undertreated wastewater enters many streams and rivers, eventually finding its way to a lake [1]. Lake sediment Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 25, No. 5 (2016), 1937-1946 Original Research Relationships of Heavy Metals in AbstractLake Uluabat is dependent on the RAMSAR Convention (the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, especially as waterfowl habitat) which was accepted in Iran in 1971 as a member of Living Lakes network carried out by the Global Nature Fund. The lake is very important in terms of biodiversity. Relationships of physicochemical parameters of lakewater and sediment with chemical fractions of heavy metals (chrome and nickel) in lake sediments were investigated in Lake Uluabat in Bursa, Turkey. The concentrations of Cr and Ni forms (dissolved, particulate, total sediment, sediment fractions) and other water and sediment quality parameters were assessed monthly at 10 sampling points between August 2013 and July 2014. The results demonstrate that the concentrations of water and sediment quality parameters undergo monthly changes. The geoaccumulation (Igeo) index has been widely applied to the assessment of sediment contamination. According to this index, Lake Uluabat has moderately polluted sediment. Cr and Ni concentrations in sediment have been determined to be higher than the upper effect threshold according to international standards. Variations of the fractions of Cr and Ni bound to organic matter (F4), residual, and bound to Fe-oxide fractions (F5) were found to be the most dominant forms. Mostly, all forms of Cr and Ni were significantly and positively correlated with pH, electrical conductivity, and suspended solids. The results revealed the importance and the need for strict control of point and non-point pollution loads for the preservation of Lake Uluabat's water and sediment quality.

“…This may be due to the high metals quantity that are adsorbed by particulate matter or precipitated from water column (Gupta et al, 2009). The non-residual fraction of the sediment is considered to be mobile and therefore, is likely to become available to aquatic organisms via resuspension process (Bramha et al, 2014). Thus, metals in water and sediment have to be taken in consideration because metals may undergo rapid alterations affecting the rate of uptake or release through water-sediment interaction.…”

This work aimed to assess the impact of Sabal drains (northern part of El-Minufiyah governorate, Egypt) on the metals load of river Nile. Four sites were selected to monitor the partitioning of metals in the aquatic components: reference site (site1); 20Km before Sabal drainage (site2); Sabal site (site3) and 20Km after Sabal drainage (site4). The maximum means of aqueous metals were observed at site3 in the following order (mg/l): Fe (0.76) >Mn (0.325) >Zn(0.07) >Pb (0.064) >Cu (0.041) >Cd (0.0035), while the trend is slightly different in sediments (mg/kg): Fe (527.9) >Mn (102.7) >Zn (17.65) >Cu (11.4) >Pb (1.26)>Cd (0.07). Tissue-specific patterns of metal accumulation in Oreochromis niloticus were observed. As indicated by the calculated metal pollution index and bioaccumulation factor, the tissues of liver, kidneys and gills were observed to be strong bioaccumulators compared to muscular tissues. Regarding the correlation study in site3, the bioaccumulated metals in most tissues showed homogenous-correlation with aqueous metals (r>0.5) and diverse-correlations with respect to sedimentary metals. The calculated hazard index (HI) indicated that each metal had low HI but, the cumulative impacts of all metals represented a real threat to fish consumers especially at site3. Metals elevation was highly correlated with Sabal discharges and regulations for water and fish consumption have to be applied.
