“…Hydrodynamic conditions play a vital role in the distribution and transfer of pollution sources in sediments [54]. The pollution issues in the sediments of TGR have been increasingly highlighted [55,56], and the regular analytical method [57] and artificial intelligence algorithms [58] have been extensively used to identify the pollution sources. Results at 14 stations that covered the upper to the lower reaches of the TGD showed that mean concentrations of heavy metals in the sediments were higher than the geochemical background values and those in the soils after the impoundment of the TGD [59], this is consistent with the result form Bing et al [54] who found that concentrations of heavy metal in the sediments increased after the TGD operation River sediment is a worldwide concern because of its significant importance in shaping the physical riverscape and regulating the associated ecological systems [4,5].…”

Spatio-Temporal Patterns and Impacts of Sediment Variations in Downstream of the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River, China

Spanning the Yangtze River of China, the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) has received considerable concern worldwide with its potential impacts on the downstream side of the dam. This work investigated the spatio-temporal variations of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) at the downstream section of Yichang-to-Chenglingji from 2002 to 2015. A random forest model was developed to estimate SSC using MODIS ground reflectance products, and the spatio-temporal distributions of SSC were retrieved with this model to investigate the characteristics of water-silt variation. Our results revealed that, relatively, SSC before 2003 was evenly distributed in the downstream Yangtze River, while this spatial distribution pattern changed ce 2003 when the dam started storing water. Temporally, the SSC demonstrated a W-shaped curve of seasonal variation as one peak occurred in September and two troughs in March and November, and showed a significantly decreasing trend after three-stage impoundment. After official operation of the TGD in 2009, the SSC was reduced by over 40% than before 2003. Spatially, the most significant changes occurred in the upper Jingjiang section, where the SSC dropped by 45%. During all stages of impoundment, the water impoundment to 135 m in 2003 had the most significant impact on suspended sediment. The decreased SSC has led to emerging risks of bank failure, aggravated erosion of water front and aggressive down-cutting erosion along the downstream of the dam, as well as other ecological and environmental issues that require urgent attention by the government.

“…Tropical riverine ecosystems in developing economies are considered a conduit for POPs. Despite the ban on most of the legacy POPs, several studies from the recent past reported chlorinated POPs in surface water samples from major rivers in India such as Ganga ( Sharma et al, 2015 ), Brahmaputra and Hooghly ( Chakraborty et al, 2016a ), Chenab and Indus in Pakistan, ( Eqani et al, 2012 , Sohail et al, 2022 ), Yangtze, Pearl, Minjiang, and Jiulongjiang in China ( Han and Currell, 2017 ), Syr Darya in Kazakhstan ( Snow et al, 2020 ), Danube, Tisza, Begej and Krivaja in Serbia ( Škrbić et al, 2018 ), Pangani in Tanzania ( Hellar-Kihampa et al, 2013 ), Talar, Babolrood and Haraz in Iran ( Behrooz et al, 2020 ) and Volturno in Italy ( Montuori et al, 2020 ) indicated historical/on-going usage as the prevalent source in the riverine environment.…”

“…Furthermore, health risk assessment is needed for the early diagnosis of diseases caused by pesticides exposure, health surveillance, and reporting systems for worker protection in terms of safety and health in the agriculture area (5). The required health risk assessment for the estimated values for hazard quotient (HQ) and hazard index (HI) for non-carcinogenic risk was below the targeted value, which indicated no non-carcinogenic risk through dermal contact and non-intentional ingestion of water (25).…”

Introduction: Carbamate is one of the most widely used pesticides in paddy field areas, which causes environmental pollution and human health problems. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the health risks of carbamate exposure in communities around paddy fields areas. Methods: This was an observational analysis study conducted using the health risk assessment approach. There were 20 samples of waterway streams from 10 sites observed in the morning (at high tide) and evening (at low tide) taken using a grab sampling method. The parameters of the waterway streams river, such as pH and temperature, were measured on-site using a pH meter and portable thermometer, while the carbamate concentration was analysed in the laboratory using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Results and Discussion: The active ingredients of carbamate pesticides that observed as follows: aldicarb (0 – 0.05 mg/l), carbaryl (0 – 0.01 mg/l), carbofuran (0-0.005 mg/l), and propoxur (0-0.001 mg/l). While the pH (6.4 – 7.5) and temperature (22.1 – 32.4oC). The potential exposure of Aldicarb in grown-up and kids were 0.042 and 0.077 mg/kg bodyweight-day, respectively. Furthermore, the potential exposure of carbofuran in Grown-ups and kids were 0.004 and 0.01 mg/kg bodyweight-day, respectively. Only the carbofuran exposure in kids has a rate of RQ > 1, which is unsafe or can cause non-carcinogenic effects in the next 30 years. Conclusion: Although the carbamate concentrations in waterway streams around paddy field areas were below the quality standard, it is not safe. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out risk management and communication with local policymakers.
