“…The content of harmful metals in the water increases significantly due to the discharge of industrial waste, the combustion of fossil fuels, domestic wastewater, water transport, and agricultural irrigation [37]. Ecological risk assessment is the process used to verify how the environment is affected as a result of exposure to one or more environmental stressors such as chemicals, land change, disease, invasive species, and climate change [38]. When an aquatic ecosystem is exposed to contaminants, waterbodies should be analyzed including various aspects, including physical, chemical, and biological parameters, and the amount of metals influenced by some hydrological factors such as dispersion, advection, and dilution or by some geochemical processes such as adsorption-desorption, precipitation, and diffusion [39].…”

A study of the water quality of the Adolfo López Mateos Reservoir (ALMD) was developed through different indicators from a spatial and seasonal perspective. Variables related to the general characteristics of water quality, trophic level, and ecological risk were assessed through the National Sanitation Foundation–Brown Water Quality Index (WQINSF–BROWN), the Carlson Trophic State Index (TSICARLSON) and the Håkanson Ecological Risk Index (RIHÅKANSON). Using data from physical, chemical, and biological parameters obtained from four sampling points in the ALMD, the water quality was assessed in each model used. The results indicated that the reservoir presents a water quality classified as “medium” (WQINSF–BROWN = 70), where significant variations in the concentrations of some parameters are observed. The reservoir showed a general trophic state (TSIGENERAL-AVERAGE = 43.04) classified as “mesotrophic”. The ecological risk analysis achieved the best classification of the methodology, discarding contamination by heavy metals in surface waters. This type of applied methodology will help in decision-making tools in the dam, and can be applied in other dams in the region.

“…Numerous indices are used to predict the human-induced accumulation of metals and possible damage to the environment. The pollution load index (PLI), potential ecological risk index (PERI) and mean probable effect concentration quotient (mPEC-Q) are often used to identify potential ecological risks, while indices such as the enrichment factor (EF), contamination factor (CF), and geoaccumulation index are used to distinguish between natural and human sources (Bing et al, 2013;Hou et al, 2013;Kaya et al, 2017;Kükrer et al, 2015;Kükrer et al, 2018;Long et al, 2006;Yang et al, 2014;Zahra et al, 2014). In this study, the vertical distribution of heavy metals within two core samples taken from Lake Erikli was examined along with potential ecological effects.…”

This study examined the vertical distribution of heavy metals in the core sediments of Lake Erikli, Turkey and their potential ecological risks. Two core samples 48 and 34 cm in length were taken with a Kajak gravity core sampler. The samples were divided into 2 cm sub-samples in the laboratory and analyzed using ICP-MS. The enrichment factors (EF), potential ecological risk factor (PERI) and pollution load index (PLI) were calculated to evaluate the environmental quality of the sediment. According to the results, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, and Cr come from natural sources in both cores and there is no anthropogenic contribution to the distribution of these elements, while some anthropogenic effects were detected for As, Cd and Hg. According to the calculated risk index (CRI) for each metal, the potential risk of Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, As and Cr is low. Two metals posing a threat to the ecosystem were identified; Cd and Hg. PLI values significantly increased from the bottom of the slice to the surface in accordance with the EF and PERI values. Continuation of the pumping of domestic waste into Lake Erikli will accelerate the process of deterioration.
