Abstract
Water and suspended particulate matter (SPM) were collected from Xiaoqing Estuary and its adjacent waters in August 2022 to study the spatial distribution and risk assessment of Hg and As. The content of Hg in SPM samples ranged from 4.7152 to 446.8678 mg kg−1, and the content of As ranged from 90.1739 to 1147.5500 mg kg−1. The content of Hg in water ranges from 0.0219 to 0.0986 μg L−1, and the content of As ranges from 1.4326 to 11.6750 μg L−1. Xiaoqing River runoff input is the main source of Hg and As. Particulate Hg and As was extremely polluted, water was much less of a risk. It indicated that SPM accumulates more dangerous pollutants (Hg and As). In both water and SPM, it turned out that Hg has a higher risk than As (i.e., CF(Hg) > CF(As), Igeo(Hg) > Igeo(As)). The analysis showed that the environmental factors of water further affected the distribution of Hg or As in water and SPM by influencing biological activity.
期刊介绍:
Marine Environmental Research publishes original research papers on chemical, physical, and biological interactions in the oceans and coastal waters. The journal serves as a forum for new information on biology, chemistry, and toxicology and syntheses that advance understanding of marine environmental processes.
Submission of multidisciplinary studies is encouraged. Studies that utilize experimental approaches to clarify the roles of anthropogenic and natural causes of changes in marine ecosystems are especially welcome, as are those studies that represent new developments of a theoretical or conceptual aspect of marine science. All papers published in this journal are reviewed by qualified peers prior to acceptance and publication. Examples of topics considered to be appropriate for the journal include, but are not limited to, the following:
– The extent, persistence, and consequences of change and the recovery from such change in natural marine systems
– The biochemical, physiological, and ecological consequences of contaminants to marine organisms and ecosystems
– The biogeochemistry of naturally occurring and anthropogenic substances
– Models that describe and predict the above processes
– Monitoring studies, to the extent that their results provide new information on functional processes
– Methodological papers describing improved quantitative techniques for the marine sciences.
