Relationship between total concentration and dilute HCl extraction of heavy metals in sediments of harbors and coastal areas in Korea

Abstract: Total concentrations of Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb in surface sediments were determined to investigate the regional trends of heavy metal contamination in 11 coastal areas in Korea. Enrichment factor (EF) of heavy metals was calculated by comparing the level of their regional background. The averages of EF values in study areas were 0.99 for Cr, 1.05 for Ni, 4.23 for Cu, 1.80 for Zn, 3.92 for Cd and 1.54 for Pb, respectively. Dilute HCl extractions were useful to deduce the anthropogenic sources of heavy metals… Show more

“…The elements Cd, Pb, Cu, and Zn are strongly correlated and also show a strong correlation with TAVS and a positive but weaker correlation with OM. Ni shows a Choi et al 2008 positive but weaker correlation with TAVS. The elements Co, Ni, Fe, and Al show a good correlation and are positively correlated with OM and clay fraction.…”

“…Regional background values assessed from core sediment samples are reported by Choi et al (2008) and offshore sediments in the Gulf of Thailand by Shazilli et al (1999). Background levels varied from 10 to 23 μg g −1 dry weight for Ni, from 10 to 25 μg g −1 dry weight for Cu, from 55 to 115 μg g −1 dry weight for Zn, from 5 to 9 μg g −1 dry weight for As, from 0.03 to 0.2 μg g −1 dry weight for Cd, from 15 to 30 μg g −1 dry weight for Pb, 370-720 μg g −1 dry weight for Mn, and (Fig.…”
