“…There was no significant concentration gradient for any metal observed along all stations. However, the concentrations of Fe and Mn were among the highest, thus reflecting high scavenging capacity of the sediments for other available trace metals (Arakel and Hongjun 1992). With the exception of Cd, the concentrations of Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn in the sediment non-residual fraction were comparable to the respective trace metals in sediments from the Gulf of Pagassitikos (Greece).…”

“…Trace metals associated with the exchangeable phase (EP), easily reducible phase (ERP), moderately reducible phase (MRP), and organic-sulphide phase (OSP) were extracted, based on the method described by Rule and Alden (1992). Trace metals associated with the carbonate phase (CP) were extracted, based on the method adopted by Arakel and Hongjun (1992). Trace metals in the residual phase were not assessed as they are normally essentially unavailable to benthic organisms (Young and Harvey 1992).…”

“…Trace metals that are loosely associated with the sediment geochemical phases (exchangeable phase and carbonate phase) are assumed to be easily bioavailable whereas those that are associated with sulphides and organic matter are relatively stable and not directly bioavailable, especially under anaerobic conditions (Arakel and Hongjun 1992). Also, it has been emphasized that oxides of Fe and Mn and the organic matter in sediments assume an important role in the sorption of (loosely referred as any form of association between metals and sedimentary components at molecular levels) of trace metals available in aquatic environment (Tessier et al 1985;Young and Harvey 1992).…”

Abstract. Trace metals in the sediments non-residual fraction and their relative abundance in various sedimentary components from the culture bed ofAnadara granosa were investigated. High levels of Cd (40%), Ni (40%), and Pb (43%) were associated with the sediment exchangeable phase (EP). The sediment moderately reducible phase (MRP) was more predominant than the easily reducible phase (ERP) and the organic sulphide phase (OSP) in the sorption of available trace metals. However, this area was not considered to be heavily impacted by trace metal pollution. Since there was no significant concentration gradients observed in sediments and bivalves collected from all stations, trace metal enrichment factors were determined. A. granosa collected from this area was enriched by Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cd, and Ni.

“…These explain 92.0% of the variance in the original data set. The criterion selected to interpret a variable associated with a particular factor was a loading of 0.4 or higher; this approximates Comrey's (1973) (Arakel and Hongjun, 1991).…”

“…Their significant to highly significant positive correlation (0.42 £ r £ 0.59) with Fe further indicates a possible association of the mentioned trace elements with Fe oxides/hydroxides. It is known that Mn and Fe oxides/hydroxides are very effective scavengers for heavy metals in oxic environments (Arakel & Hongjun, 1992;Aubert, Probst, & Sille, 2004;Kabata-Pendias & Pendias, 1992;Taylor, McKenzie, Fordham, & Gillman, 1983;Wong et al, 2002). Arsenic and base metals are retained in typical sediments and soils, primarily through sorption to fine-grained Fe and Mn oxyhydroxide minerals that occur as grain coatings, film and clay minerals (Rose, Hawkes, & Webb, 1978).…”

The objective of this study was to assess the bulk chemical composition as well as the extent and severity of heavy metal contamination in the paddy soil of Kočani Field (eastern Macedonia). The results revealed that the paddy soil of the western part of Kočani Field is severely contaminated with Pb, Zn, As and Cd in the vicinity of the Zletovska River due to irrigation with riverine water that is severely affected by acid mine and tailing effluents from the Pb-Zn mine in Zletovo. The detected total concentrations of these metals are far above the threshold values considered to be phytotoxically excessive for surface soil. The paddy soil in the vicinity of the Zletovska River was also found to exhibit elevated levels of Ba, Th, U, V, W, Mo, Cu, Sb, Bi, Ag, Au, Hg and Tl, with concentrations above their generally accepted median concentration values obtained during this study. A correlation matrix revealed that the Mn and Fe oxides/ hydroxides are the most important carrier phase for several trace elements, with the exception of rare earth elements (REEs). These also represent a major sink for the observed heavy metal pollution of thesoil. REEs are mostly associated with two phases: light (L)REEs are bound to K-Al, while heavy (H)REEs are bound to Mg-bearing minerals. Although there is no direct evidence of a health risk, the paddy soil in the vicinity of Zletovska River needs further investigation and an assessment should be made of its suitability for agricultural use, particularly in view of the highly elevated concentrations of Pb, Zn, As and Cd.
