摘要
摘要本研究评估了尼日利亚西北部湿地生态系统的金属污染,该生态系统易受农业、工业和城市化等多种来源的污染。该研究分析了该地区10个地点的湿地土壤和植物中铅(Pb)、铜(Cu)、铬(Cr)、镉(Cd)和铁(Fe)的浓度。采用污染系数、修正污染度、Nemerow污染指数和污染负荷指数等污染指数确定研究区金属污染程度,计算转移因子评价研究区金属从土壤向植物转移的潜力。结果表明,湿地土壤和植物中的金属浓度因地点和感兴趣的金属而有很大差异,有些地点由于农业和采矿活动而具有较高的浓度。污染指数表明,研究区金属污染总体为中度至重度污染,部分金属从土壤向植物转移的潜力较大。这项研究为了解尼日利亚北部一些湿地土壤和植物中金属污染的程度和严重程度提供了有价值的见解。关键词:Wetlandspollution indicestransfer factorsource apportionmentNigeria AcknowledgementsThe作者感谢联邦大学Dutse尤其是实验室的管理部门提供有利环境和可用设备和试剂在整个研究团队曾成功的这个手稿的编译。m.d.

Assessment of environmental pollution using indices, transfer factor and source apportionment in soils and plants of wetlands in Northern Nigeria
ABSTRACTThis study assessed metal pollution in wetland ecosystems in North-western Nigeria, which is susceptible to pollution from various sources including agriculture, industry and urbanisation. The study analysed the concentrations of lead (Pb), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd) and iron (Fe) in wetland soils and plants from 10 sites in the region. Pollution indices, including contamination factor, modified degree of contamination, Nemerow pollution index and pollution load index, were used to determine the extent of metal pollution in the study area, while transfer factors were calculated to assess the potential for metal transfer from soils to plants. The results showed that metal concentrations in wetland soils and plants varied widely depending on the location and the metal of interest, with some sites showing higher concentrations due to agricultural and mining activities. The pollution indices indicated that metal pollution was generally moderate to highly polluted in the study areas, with some metals showing higher potential for transfer from soil to plants than others. This study provides valuable insights into the extent and severity of metal pollution in some wetland soils and plants in Northern Nigeria.KEYWORDS: Wetlandspollution indicestransfer factorsource apportionmentNigeria AcknowledgementsThe authors are thankful to the management of Federal University Dutse especially the Laboratory division for providing the enabling environment and available equipment and reagents throughout this research to the team who worked for the success of this manuscript’s compilation.

期刊介绍:
Chemistry and Ecology publishes original articles, short notes and occasional reviews on the relationship between chemistry and ecological processes. This journal reflects how chemical form and state, as well as other basic properties, are critical in their influence on biological systems and that understanding of the routes and dynamics of the transfer of materials through atmospheric, terrestrial and aquatic systems, and the associated effects, calls for an integrated treatment. Chemistry and Ecology will help promote the ecological assessment of a changing chemical environment and in the development of a better understanding of ecological functions.
