Distribution characteristics and potential risk assessment of heavy metals in seawater and sediment of Liaodong Bay

Abstract: Distribution of heavy metals (Hg, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd and Cr) in the seawater and sediments were studied based on data from two oceanographic surveys carried out in Liaodong Bay in May and October 2016. The results showed that the values of heavy metals in seawater represent a uniform distribution, while no trends were detected for spatial distribution. High values of heavy metals in sediment were generally distributed nearshore areas in October. Concentrations of Pb, Zn, Hg in seawater were higher than the nationa… Show more

“…The highest concentrations of Cr were found at sampling sites 2 and 4, as these areas are affected by urban, maritime traffic and industrial activities. Total Cr concentrations were also found to be 4–5.5 times lower than those in the Al-Khobar coast (Saudi Arabian Gulf) and in Liadong Bay (China) (0.8–3.3 µg/L [ 41 ] and 0.93–3.22 µg/L [ 46 ], respectively) and they were within the range (0.04–3.94 µg/L) found in Meiliang Bay (China) [ 47 ].…”
