“…Contrarily, Meiliang Bay (T5) and Zhushan Bay (T7) showed the concentrations increment for a majority of elements. Another bay, Gonghu Bay (T12), had the same progression except for Pb and Sr. Site T13 was located in the estuary of Dapu River and could record the polluting condition of the river estuary (Shumilin et al 2005;Ram et al 2009;Vicente-Martorell et al 2009). In the past 10 years, Co, Cr and Ni presented Similarly, E.Taihu Lake exhibited the recovery trend.…”

“…A major proportion of the anthropogenic nutrients could be stored in the bottom sediment by hydrodynamism and biogeochemistry processes (Shumilin et al 2005;Castro-González and Méndez-Armenta 2008), and the internal nutrient release had been one of the main sources of eutrophication besides the external input (Søndergaard et al 2003;Nixdorf and Deneke 2004). Knowledge of nutrient abundance and species in the sediment and overlying water, and their correlation with the riverine inputs, is of critical importance for understanding the internal and external loading (Ruban et al 2001;Eggleton and Thomas 2004).…”

Concentrations of the nutrients (TN and TP), phosphorus fractions and heavy metals (Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr, Ti, V, Zn and Hg) in 40 surface sediment samples collected from Taihu Lake, a eutrophic shallow lake in China, were determined. The results showed that the northwest region of the lake possessed higher concentrations of TN and TP, as well as the similar spatial distribution trend in the water column. This should be related to excessive anthropogenic input from industrial effluents and domestic sewage in surrounding areas. Similarly, the concentrations of P fractions exhibited significant regularity. In addition, except for Sr showing low concentration, the rest of the heavy metals in the surface sediments had two- to four-folds of magnitude of the concentrations compared with the reference values in earth's crust. In the past decade, concentrations of heavy metals had undergone different levels of variations. Principal component analysis (PCA) and enrichment factors (EFs) of the compositional data aiming at heavy metals showed that Taihu Lake was slightly exposing to heavy metal contamination except Sr. High concentrations of heavy metals were ascribed to the discharge of untreated and partially treated industrial waste water via rivers. Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, V and Zn positively correlated with each other (R = 0.78-0.92), that indicated they had analogous sources and/or kindred geochemistry characteristics. Differing from nutrients, randomness in the space indicated that heavy metals had a complex distribution.

“…This is the case of the tropical coastal system of Marabasco, which is rich in iron oxy-hydroxides, undergoes hydrothermal alteration and is located in the vicinity of the Colima Volcano (Rivas-Sanchez et al, 2006). Sediment transport is also affected by the activity of the Peña Colorada iron mine, situated in the Marabasco basin, and by the flood events associated with hurricanes during the rainy season (Shumilin et al, 2005).…”

“…The geochemical character of As suggests that it is solublized through diagnetic processes in organic rich mangrove sediments (Goessler et al 1997;Kubota et al 2001;Shumilin et al 2005). Diffusion along the concentration gradients in the interstitial water and secondary accumulation of arsenic of the seafloor via co-precipitation with iron oxyhydroxides or with insoluble sulfide in the reducing environment below the sediment surface cannot be excluded (Belzile and Tessier 1990;Caetano and Vale 2002).…”

Acid leachable trace metals in sediment cores from Sunderban Mangrove Wetland, India: an approach towards regular monitoring

et al. 2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The paper presents the first document to identify the enrichment pattern of acid leachable trace metals (ALTMs) such as Fe, Mn, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Cd, Co, Mo, Ag, As and Ba and their relationship with sediment quality parameters (pH, organic carbon, carbonates and texture) in core sediments (<63 microm particle size) from Indian Sunderban mangrove wetland, formed at the estuarine phase of the river Hugli (Ganges). Textural analysis reveals an overall predominance of mud. The results indicate that the change in pH values causes coagulation and precipitation of ALTMs. Fe and Mn have fairly close distribution patterns of enrichment in surface layers which might be ascribed to early diagnetic processes. The most prominent feature of ALTMs is the enrichment of Fe, Mn, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Ba in the surface-subsurface layers in the sediment cores, which is mainly attributed to the intense industrial and agricultural activities as well as drainage of untreated domestic sewage to this coastal region. The ALTMs also indicate their association with organic carbon and Fe-Mn oxyhydroxides. The enrichment is well--supported by the correlation, grouping and clustering of ALTMs in statistical analyses. Anthropogenic Factor values indicated ALTMs enrichment for all trace metals due to intense anthropogenic activities. Overall higher values of ALTMs in sediments in comparison to other Indian coastal regions indicate that they are mainly due to the uncontrolled anthropogenic activities in this mangrove estuarine complex. Statistical analyses suggest that five ALTMs (Cu, Pb, As, Mo, Ba) are attached to the organic particles and the clustering of elements separately also indicates that they are from external source. The result of the present study suggests the need for a regular monitoring program which will help to improve the quality of this potential wetland.
