Heavy Metals in Sediment from Bei Shan River: Distribution, Relationship with Soil Characteristics and Multivariate Assessment of Contamination Sources

“…This may indicate the different origin or controlling factors of Cr in analyzed sediments. Cluster analysis highlighted the lithogenic origin of heavy metals (Mn, Cd, Cu, Ni, Zn and Pb) and pointed out the primary input of Cr from anthropogenic sources.Keywords Heavy metals Á Sediment Á Chromium Á Uranium mill tailings Uranium mill tailings contain many hazardous substances other than radionuclide, such as heavy metals that often have been ignored (Gomez et al 2014;Laird et al 2014;Yan and Luo 2015). Seven kinds of heavy metals such as Mn, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Zn and Pb are very common in uranium mill tailings, even though the kind and content of heavy metals in different uranium mill tailings are a little different.…”
