“…Maximum Cr concentrations found in both areas are below the value in COSED, whereas they exceed the LEL and ISQG levels that have moderate impact on benthic organisms. Table 4 compares the results for Nakaumi Lagoon and the Honjo Area from this work with other studies conducted by Marvin et al (2004) in Lake Ontario, Canada, Albering et al (1999) in Lake Eijsden, The Netherlands, Ahmed et al (2005) in Gulshan Lake, Bangladesh, RosalesHoz et al (2000) in Lake Chapala, Mexico, and Bibi et al (2007) in Lake Banryoko and Lake Hamahara, southwest Japan. The maximum Pb and Zn contents found in the Ontario and Eijsden sediments are far greater than those from the study sites.…”

“…They are also higher than abundances in <180 μm fractions of stream sediments from the Kando and Hino Rivers, also in Shimane (average 15 and 17 ppm; Ortiz and Roser 2006a, b).

Bottom sediments from Nakaumi Lagoon and the Honjo Area in southwest Japan were analyzed to determine their geochemical compositions and to assess potential impacts by comparison with sediment quality guidelines. Present-day water quality was also assessed. Results showed that the water quality of Nakaumi Lagoon and the Honjo area contrasts between their upper and lower parts. Average abundances of As, Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni, and Cr in the Nakaumi sediments were 12, 25, 135, 32, 21, and 46 ppm, respectively, compared to 10, 24, 110, 26, 20, and 38 ppm in the Honjo area. All averages are greater than those of the upper continental crust. The elevated metal concentrations are probably related to the fine-grained nature of the sediments, reducing bottom conditions produced by abundant organic matter and possibly minor non-point anthropogenic sources. Trace metal contents are strongly correlated with Fe2O3, suggesting that Fe oxides play a role in controlling abundances. Metal concentrations exceed the NYSDEC lowest effect level and CCME interim sediment quality guidelines that indicate moderate impact on aquatic organisms. Average abundances of As and Zn are comparable to the Coastal Ocean Sediment Database threshold, whereas maximum concentrations exceed that value, indicating that the concentrations of these metals are potentially toxic. These enrichments suggest that regular monitoring may be desirable even where no point sources of metal pollution exist.

“…This shows that Zn content in the suspended sediment is mainly anthropogenic rather than lithogenic, in origin. Earlier studies show that Zn inputs through the rivers are mainly due to not only industrial and household wastes, but also traffic waste [8,40,41].…”

Variations in the Concentration of Magnetic Minerals and Heavy Metals in Suspended Sediments from Citarum River and Its Tributaries, West Java, Indonesia

et al. 2017

Abstract:The Citarum River has a volcanic catchment area in West Java Province, and is one of the nationally strategic rivers in tropical Indonesia due to its roles in water supply and in power generation. The river is economically important, but it is also polluted by industrial, agricultural, and residential wastes. Suspended sediment samples were collected along a certain section of the Citarum River, starting in Balekambang through the area of Bandung Regency to the downstream village of Nanjung, where the river is dammed. Similar samples were also collected from seven tributaries of the Citarum River. Magnetic and heavy metal analyses show that unlike river sediments from a non-volcanic catchment area in temperate climates, magnetic susceptibility values tend to decrease downstream, showing that the magnetic minerals in the upstream area are mostly lithogenic in origin, containing more Fe-bearing minerals compared to those in tributary samples which are anthropogenic in origin. Anthropogenic pollution is also represented by the increase of Zn content along the river. The results suggest that applying magnetic methods for monitoring river pollution in the tropics or in the volcanic areas should be carefully analyzed and interpreted.

“…In Fraction III (Fe and Mn oxides), minimum and maximum concentrations detected in five zones (including Gate Station) were: Cd (5LD -1.5 mg kg À 1 ), Cu (0.5 to 9 mg kg À 1 ), Cr (0.5 -2.5 mg kg It is clear that the highest values of heavy metals were detected with respect to the exchangeable and carbonate fractions. It has been reported that heavy metals such as Cu, Pb, Mn and Zn can form stable complexes with Fe and Mn oxides (Xiangdong et al, 2001;Bibi et al, 2007). The metals in this fraction are more strongly bound than exchangeable or carbonate fraction and occur mainly as surface associated metals and co-precipitates of hydrous metal oxides.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the distribution of total and bioavailable metals (Cd, Cu, Cr, Fe, Mn, Pb and Zn) in sediments of the Abelardo L. Rodríguez (ALR) dam located in the eastern part of the city of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. Seventy two sediment samples were collected in 2009 during four sampling campaigns in February (spring), May (summer), September (end of summer) and December (winter) in five different areas within the dam surface (Zones I, II, III, IV and V), including the Gate Station. Determination of heavy metals was carried out by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS). The results indicate high levels of total heavy metals in the following order: Fe4Mn4Zn4Pb4Cu4Cr4Cd. This is indicative of the impact of human activities located in areas surrounding the reservoir, specifically urban and industrial. The distribution and state of accumulation of trace metals in the sediment is largely dominated by the residual and FeyMn oxides geochemical phases. Fraction I (exchangeable) also presented high concentrations of metals (Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn). From enrichment factor analysis, the study area is prevalently enriched in Cd, Cu and Pb in Zones I, II, III, IV and Gate Station. This indicates that the sediments are impacted by anthropogenic activities such as downloads, domestic and industrial wastewater. Geoaccumulation index (Igeo) indicates that Zones I, II, III, IV and V (including Gate Station) do not show contamination by Cr, Fe, Mn and Zn. However, there is a moderate to heavy contamination by Cd, Cu and Pb (Igeo: 2 -4) in all areas of study. The comparison between the results obtained with the sediment quality criteria (LEL and SEL), indicate that Zones I, II, III, IV, V and Gate Station, are contaminated with Cd, Cu and Pb, and severely contaminated by Fe.The elevated levels of heavy metals detected in the sediment of the ALR Dam require special attention, since in the exchangeable fraction, the metals are specifically adsorbed on the sediment and can be released when the ionic composition of water changes. However, additional studies are required in this reservoir on the chemistry and toxicology of metals for a full assessment of potential risks posed to biota and man.
