Molybdenum background and pollution levels in the Taipu River, China

Abstract: Pollution of river sediments by industrial molybdenum (Mo) is a potential threat to human and ecosystem health, yet the lack of a geochemical background level for Mo has limited risk assessment. Here, we studied Mo in 25 surface sediments and 8 core sediments in the Taipu River, Yangtze River Delta region, China. We measured total Mo and Mo in acid-extractable, reducible, oxidizable and residue fractions. Results show a background Mo level of 0.35 mg/kg of natural Mo in core samples. Surface sediments are cont… Show more

“…Observable higher PFAS concentrations were detected in tap water from reservoir C, which could be explained by the presence of possible point sources in the area. There are high-density point sources, such as chemical industries and textile industries, close to Taipu River, which connect to reservoir C, Tai Lake and Huangpu River, , which could be potential contributors to the high EF concentrations in tap water from reservoir C. The compositions of different PFAS decreased in the order of ultra-short PFAS (<C4, 98 ± 0.42%) > PFCAs (≥C4, 1.53 ± 0.34%) > PFSAs (≥C4, 0.26 ± 0.10%) > other PFAS (0.03 ± 0.02%). TFA was the largest contributor, accounting for more than 91% of ΣPFAS in all samples, with average concentrations ranging from 1.74 to 7.08 μg/L, which was on the same order of magnitude as a previous study on TFA in tap water from Shanghai .…”

“…A total of 143 surface sediments were collected from Taipu River and its associated lakes in 2018, 2020, and 2021 during flood and non-flood seasons. Many industries along the river, including textile, printing and dyeing, machinery, and hardware, are potential contributors of heavy metals which become enriched in sediments [ 27 ]. Surface sediments were collected by a grab sampler based on the industrial distribution and the relationship between the river and lake, and handheld GPS was used to record the location ( Figure 1 ).…”

“…Sheeting devices have not had extensive application in industry. The most important reason for this is the constancy or durability of sheeting, on account of the loss of carrier or sheeting dissolvant from the sheeting stage that has an impact on the selectivity of the sheeting and dislodging percentage of elements [ 12 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ].…”
