武汉城市湖泊汞的环境地球化学评价   总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13  
汞由于其在环境中的持久性、生物地球化学可循环性以及潜在的生态威胁性而受到格外关注。对武汉远郊、城乡结合部和市区三种环境中6个湖泊的水、沉积物和生物(鱼)中汞污染特征进行了调查采样,用原子荧光光谱仪进行了汞含量的测定。采用Hakanson提出的潜在生态危害指数法直接评价了武汉湖泊汞的生态效应。结果表明,与国家食品卫生标准鱼肉中汞含量(≤300ng/g)相比,除梁子湖乌鱼(汞含量为676ng/g)外,6个湖泊3种鱼肉中汞含量均未超标,表明武汉城市湖泊汞元素尚未造成明显的生态效应;与国家Ⅲ类水质汞含量标准(0.1μg/L)相比,除金银湖水汞含量(0.137μg/L)略有超标外,其他湖水汞含量分布在0.048~0.081μg/L之间,均在合格标准线以下,武汉地区湖水中重金属汞污染不严重,不会构成严重的环境问题;应用Hakanson评价模型,据单个金属的潜在生态危害系数,排出所研究湖泊沉积物汞污染程度的序列为:东湖>墨水湖>金银湖>梁子湖>汤逊湖>鲁湖。  相似文献

江汉平原江陵湖泊沉积物粒度特征及气候环境意义   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
以江汉平原江陵湖泊沉积物为研究对象,结合沉积物岩性、粒度组成、孢粉和有机碳同位素等,分析了江陵湖泊沉积物粒度组成特征及该区域近9 000 a来的气候环境变化。研究发现,江陵湖泊沉积物记录了该区湖泊水体逐渐减小直至消亡的过程,气候环境变化大致可分为以下5个阶段:(1)8 900~6 300 a B.P.为水体较深、面积较大的开阔湖阶段,气候暖湿;(2)6 300~4 700 a B.P.为面积较小、水体较浅的潴水湖阶段,气候干旱;(3)4 700~3 400 a B.P.为面积更小、水体更浅的洼地湖阶段,气候偏暖偏湿;(4)3 400~2 500 a B.P.为湖沼泥炭发育阶段,气候暖湿;(5)2 500 a B.P.以来,由湖泊及湖沼堆积转化为洪水漫滩堆积,古云梦泽开始萎缩,气候变干。江陵湖泊沉积物粒度所记录的区域气候干湿变化与国内邻近区域(特别是鄱阳-洞庭湖区)显示出较好的一致性,沉积物粒度研究是恢复区域古降水等气候环境变化的有效途径。  相似文献

湖泊沉积物色度在短尺度古气候研究中的应用   总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15  
在ODP对大西洋海洋沉积物的研究中,色度作为最直观和简便的指标被普遍用于反映千年尺度的气候环境变化。能否用湖泊沉积物色度反映短时间尺度的气候环境变化?利用CIE/L a b表色系,通过青藏高原可可西里苟仁错湖泊沉积物的 L、a和 b值与有关地球化学指标的统计相关关系分析,对湖泊色度指标在短尺度古气候研究中的意义进行了探讨,并据此分析了 1440年以来苟仁错地区的古气候演变。研究表明,L值(亮度)与沉积物 碳酸盐含量正相关,L高时,气候冷干,碳酸盐含量较高;反之,气温上升,湿度增加;a值(红-绿彩度)与沉积物中Mg含量相关,高 a值对应于沉积物中高MgO含量和高Mg/Ca比值,反映气温较高;b(黄-蓝彩度)值与三价铁的含量相关,较高的 b值代表了湖泊处于较强的氧化条件下,因此 b值可以用于反映湖水深度变化,反映有效湿度的变化,b值高,湖水浅,氧化作用增强;苟仁错沉积物 a值和 b值曲线镜像对称进一步反映了冷干-暖湿的气候组合特征。根据沉积物的色度意义,判断苟仁错地区自 1430年进入小冰期,至1890年结束。近40年来气候变化与邻近气象站的器测相吻合。  相似文献

利用中国150余个淡水湖泊表层沉积物和深层沉积物的地球化学数据,采用中位数绝对中位差的方法统计获得了中国主要淡水湖泊沉积物的As、Cd、Cr、Cu、Hg、Ni、Pb、Zn、TN、TP、TOC及pH的地球化学背景值,为我国湖泊沉积物环境质量基准的建立和湖泊生态环境质量监管提供了重要依据。统计结果表明,我国表层湖泊沉积物中的As、Cd、Hg等重金属元素以及TP、TOC等发生了显著富集,显示出强烈的人类活动对湖泊沉积物环境质量的改变。在探讨国外环境质量基准值对我国淡水湖泊沉积物环境质量评价适应性的基础上,提出直接采用国外相关标准还不能客观评价我国湖泊沉积物的污染程度和生态风险,应充分考虑我国湖泊沉积物的地球化学背景,建立适应我国情况的沉积物环境质量基准。  相似文献

红枫湖是云贵高原上一个中等富营养化的季节性厌氧湖泊。对红枫湖流域湖水及其入湖河流河水一年内四个季节的水体硫酸盐硫同位素组成进行了系统研究,结果表明,红枫湖湖水硫酸盐的δ^34S值介于-8.7‰-4.9‰之间,平均-6.8‰,入湖河流的δ^34S值变化范围为-14.7‰-+0.8‰。湖水的硫同位素组成主要受煤以及大气降水的控制,硫化物和蒸发岩的贡献较小。全年内湖水的δ^34S值季节性变化明显,表现为夏季〉秋季〉冬季、春季的特征,反映了大气降水对湖水硫酸盐贡献的季节性差异。此外,湖水垂直剖面上呈现出明显的季节性差异,冬季、春季湖水的剖面上下δ^34S值几乎没有变化,而夏季、秋季湖水表层和底层相对较高,呈规律性变化,这与湖水冬季混合、夏季分层的特点有关;夏季湖水分层期间雨水在湖泊表层的滞留,以及湖泊底层的硫酸盐细菌还原等相关生物地球化学过程是水体垂直剖面上δ^34S值规律性变化的主要原因。  相似文献

文章对位于大兴安岭中北段四方山天池湖泊沉积物进行了多指标的分析,结果表明,15.4ka B.P.以来,TOC和TN含量变化较大,两者正相关(R=0.99),TOC含量从冰期的1.60%逐渐上升到近代的34.40%,可能反映了湖泊有机质逐渐累积过程.TOC/TN比值的变化范围为10.4~18.8,平均值14.2;δ13Corg.值在-31.79‰~-22.51‰之间波动.四方山天池周边为森林,植被类型以C3植物占绝对优势,δ13Corg.值的变化可能主要受到有效降水量的控制.根据δ13Corg.的变化以及TOC、TOC/TN指标,本区域15.4ka B.P.以来的气候演化过程可以分为以下6个阶段:1)15.4~14.5kaB.P.,TOC含量低(1.60% ~4.76%,平均值为2.95%),TOC/TN比值在10.4~13.8之间,可能表明沉积物有机质主要来源于湖泊藻类和陆生C3植物的共同输入,且水生植物贡献比例较高,δ13Corg.值相对偏正,有效降水量低,气候冷干;2)14.5~12.7kaB.P.,与Bφlling-Allerφd暖期相对应,TOC含量和TOC/TN比值显著上升,且波动明显,并于13.6ka B.P.左右同时达到此阶段的最大值,可能指示沉积物有机质主要来源在13.6ka B.P.左右发生了从以陆生植物为主到湖泊藻类和陆生植物贡献相当的转变,δ13Corg.值整体偏负,并在14.4ka B.P.左右出现最负峰值(-31.79‰),有效降水量有所增加,但也经历了明显的湿-千变化;3)12.7~11.3ka B.P.,此阶段对应新仙女木期,TOC含量稍有增加(6.33% ~ 10.19%),TOC/TN比值持续下降(平均值为13.7),此时湖泊藻类和陆生C3植物对沉积物有机质都有贡献,但水生植物略多,δ13Corg.值严重偏负,有效降水量增加,气候冷湿;4)11.3~7.2ka B.P.,TOC含量有所增加且变化较大(8.49% ~ 20.24%),TOC/TN比值在11.5~18.4之间,沉积物有机质主要来源于陆生植物和湖泊藻类的共同输入,δ13Corg.值是整个剖面曲线上最为偏正的时期,气候升温明显,有效降水量减少,但也有冷暖-干湿波动;5)7.2~4.5ka B.P.,TOC含量较高且基本保持不变,TOC/TN比值在高频振荡中逐渐升高,陆生C3植物对沉积物有机质的贡献比例逐渐增加,δ13Corg.值逐渐偏负,有效降水量增加,气候更加湿润;6)4.5ka B.P.以来,TOC含量显著升高(19.45% ~ 34.40%),TOC/TN比值和δ13Corg.值变化不大,湖泊沼泽化明显,气候较为稳定且总体变干.四方山天池湖泊沉积物清楚记录了B-A暖期、新仙女木事件以及8.2ka B.P.冷事件等全球性气候事件的发生,并与东亚季风影响区的其他高分辨率记录具有可比性.  相似文献

文章选择青藏高原腹地可可西里边缘地区古湖泊为研究对象,通过对湖泊沉积物有机碳、氮和粒度等分析,对中更新世以来BDQ06孔湖泊沉积物有机碳同位素的波动特征及其影响因素进行了分析。结果表明:湖泊沉积物有机质以湖泊自生植物为主,有机碳同位素的大小主要指示挺水植物与沉水植物的比例,进而指示湖泊水体大小的变化。沉积物C/N值较低时;碳同位素偏重阶段,湖泊沉积物以沉水植物为主,植物主要利用水中溶解的CO2进行光合作用,因此有机碳同位素偏正,指示湖泊水体较大,环境条件较好;碳同位素偏负阶段,湖泊沉积物以挺水植物和浮游生物为主,植物主要利用大气中CO2作为碳源,类似于C3植物,碳同位素偏轻,指示湖泊水体较小,气候偏干。其中在岩芯的部分层位有机碳δ13C曲线出现几个明显偏低的位置,对应的C/N>10,说明此时段有大量陆源高等植物进入湖泊,并不是由挺水植物和浮游植物所造成的。  相似文献

Geochemical analyses of lakebed and core sediments from Lake Sambe on the outskirts of Oda City in Shimane prefecture in southwestern Japan were carried out in order to assess the water quality and the concentration and distribution patterns of sixteen elements. The lake water showed a stratified condition with respect to dissolved O2, and As, Fe, and Mn concentrations in the bottom layers which increased in the summer. The chemical composition of the sediments, as measured by X-ray fluorescence, included major and trace elements (P, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Sr, Zr, Pb, and Th), and total sulfur (TS). Elevated values of As, Zn, V, Fe, P, and TS were present in several layers of the upper cores (from 0 to 5 cm) and other surface sediments. Increases in the abundances of these metals in lake sediments are probably related to the reducing condition of the sediments, fine-grained organic rich sediments, and post-depositional diagenetic remobilization. Moreover, correlations between the concentrations of trace metals and iron in the sediments suggest their adsorption onto Fe (oxy)hydroxides, whereas correlations with sulfur indicate that they were precipitated as Fe-sulfides. The average abundances of As, Pb, Zn, and Cu exceeded the lowest effect level and Interim Sediment Quality Guideline values that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment determined to have moderate impact on aquatic organisms. In addition, concentrations of As and Zn exceeded the Coastal Ocean Sediment Database threshold value, indicating potentially toxic levels. Therefore, the presence of trace metals in the lake sediments may result in adverse effects on biota health.  相似文献

内海湾底泥沉积物的环境质量状况与水生生物的生存和人体健康关系密切。在广东汕头市内海湾两岸23个点位采集了表层(0~20 cm)和深层(100~120 cm)底泥沉积物样品46件,对其pH值和Cd、Hg、As、Pb、Cr、Cu、Zn计7项重金属及K含量进行测试分析,调查底泥中这些重金属的含量特征,并参照农用地水田土壤污染风险管控标准对重金属环境污染质量进行评价。结果表明汕头内海湾底泥沉积物的pH介于7.00~8.82之间,平均值为7.83,在46件样品中41件样品的pH值大于7.5。内海湾底泥中7项重金属元素的含量均明显低于环境污染风险管制值,即对该区底泥重金属环境污染不需要管制。Cd、As、Pb、Cr这4项重金属含量均低于污染风险筛选值,其污染风险可以忽略。2件表层样品的Hg含量值高于污染风险筛选值,18件样品的Cu和Zn含量值高于污染风险筛选值,因此建议对底泥中Cu、Zn、Hg含量进行环境质量监测。K含量介于0.70%~2.59%,平均值为1.54%。基于表层底泥和深层底泥元素含量对比分析,认为该区Hg污染来源应为人为源;Cu、Zn的污染来源一部分为人为源,另一部分可能为人为源、自然源或二者的混合源。  相似文献

A combined sedimentological and high-resolution petrographic analysis was conducted on a glacial-age (20,000–65,000 cal yr BP) sediment core from Baldwin Lake, Southern California. The results of this research represent the most complete glacial-age, terrestrial climate record from Southern California to date. These results are used to characterize the different sediment types and to investigate the difference in depositional processes and environments between the core's three predominant sediment types: massive, semi-laminated, and laminated sediments. Massive sediments are commonly associated with a blocky texture and/or desiccation cracks, are organic-poor, have high magnetic susceptibility values, and are coarser-grained. Thin-sections from massive sediments reveal a homogenous sediment fabric. Sub-centimeter-scale laminated and centimeter-scale semi-laminated sediments are generally organic-rich, have low magnetic susceptibility values, and are finer grained. Thin-sections from laminated and semi-laminated sediments reveal diffuse sub-millimeter- to millimeter-scale laminae. This combination of sedimentological and high-resolution petrographic data enabled us to characterize four sediment facies, each related to specific depositional processes and environments: (1) a playa lake; (2) a perennial shallow lake; (3) an intermediate lake with variable lake level; and, (4) a perennial deep lake. At centennial-to millennial-timescales, lower lake levels are represented by deposition of massive to semi-laminated sediments in a playa to a perennial shallow lake environment. At similar timescales, higher lake levels are recorded by semi-laminated to laminated sediments deposited in an intermediate lake to a perennial deep lake environment. These results provide an additional sedimentological study for comparison to similar arid environment basins, and for comparison to existing regional paleoclimatic reconstructions.  相似文献

Tertiary sediments around Lake Rudolf (now Lake Turkana) in the East African Rift Valley have yielded abundant palaeontological and palaeoanthropological remains. The present study provides a basis for interpreting the ancient lake environment and furthering our knowledge of rift valley lacustrine deposits. Bottom sediments in Lake Rudolf are fine-grained (average 71% clay) well laminated and have montmorillonite, kaolinite and illite as the principal clay minerals. The sediments are relatively poor in silica (40–45%) but rich in Fe2O3 (10%). Both mineral proportions and chemical composition change systematically over the area of the lake and delineate four sedimentological provinces: (1) iron-rich, silty kaolinitic muds (Omo Delta); (2) iron-rich, fine-grained montmorillonite muds (North Basin); (3) silty montmorillonite muds rich in Na2O and K2O (Central Delta); and (4) argillaceous calcite silts (South Basin). Omo Delta and North Basin sediments are derived from the volcanics of the Ethiopian plateau; the source of Central Delta sediments is the Precambrian metamorphic terrain of the rift valley margin; the South Basin has a restricted detrital input. The water in the lake is alkaline (pH 9.2) and moderately saline (TDS = 2500 p.p.m.). Comparisons with influent water from the Omo River indicate a 200-fold concentration for the lake water. Models based on equilibrium between sediments and water column account for most of the non-conservative chemical components in the lake water. Sedimentation rates are high (about 1 m per 1000 years) and the dominance of detrital sediments makes Lake Rudolf unusual in comparison with other closed-basin lakes in the African Rift Valley although some similarities with ancient rift valley deposits are suggested.  相似文献

Lake sediment composition as an indicator of mineralization within the catchment area has found widespread application in recent years, particularly in Canada. Results have indicated, however, the existence of varying relationships between lake sediment composition and mineralization resulting from local features of the limnological environment. Accordingly it was considered appropriate to examine the nature of metal transport in the lake and stream environment, the partitioning of metal between the stream waters and stream sediments and between lake waters and lake sediments to obtain some understanding of the factors that affect the lake sediment-mineralization relationship. This investigation was carried out over an area containing Pb-Zn occurrences of supposed “Mississippi-Valley type” in Grenville and Paleozoic bedrock in southeastern Ontario.The headwater drainage systems comprise active streams, swamps, beaver ponds and small lake-bog systems giving way downstream to open lakes. The beaver swamps and seasonal swamps act as drainage sinks for metals, restricting the extent of geochemical dispersion in drainage systems adjacent to mineralization. Selective extraction analysis of bog, stream and lake sediments indicates that metals are preferentially concentrated with amorphous iron oxides, which readily adsorb and complex lead and zinc and are stable in the alkaline environment common in swamps adjacent to carbonate-hosted lead-zinc mineralization. The accumulation of lead and zinc with amorphous iron oxides combined with the adsorbing and chelating action of organic matter on lead and zinc makes organic-rich sediments from these small swampy areas an excellent sample medium for reflecting local mineralization. Down drainage anomalies of these elements can be accentuated by selective analysis for the amorphous iron oxide-held metal, involving selective extraction techniques.In contrast, within larger lake systems, the analysis of water samples indicates that geochemical dispersion in surface waters in the high pH environment (pH = 8.0) associated with the carbonate-hosted lead-zinc deposits is extremely restricted. In this environment, anomalous metal contents in lake water were not evident in lakes adjacent to mineralization, while anomalous lake sediment compositions exist only in lakes immediately adjacent to Pb-Zn mineralization and do not extend down the drainage system. The restricted dispersion necessitates basing geochemical reconnaissance surveys on collection and analysis of samples from the headwater organic-rich swamps at a higher sample density and resulting higher cost than in areas where a lower sample density is acceptable due to a wider dispersion.  相似文献

Five sediment cores from the fresh water region of the Vembanad wetland system were studied for the trace element contents The average concentration of iron, manganese, nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium, lead, mercury and chromium were determined. The core samples were collected using gravity type corer, digested with a mixture of nitric acid and perchloric acid and analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Heavy metals such as iron, copper, nickel and zinc reported enrichment towards the surface of the core sediment sample collected from the centre of the lake. Lead, cadmium and mercury showed uniform distribution through out the core. Quality of the sediments were evaluated based on sediment quality guidelines, pollution load index, sum of toxic units and with effect range low/effect range median and threshold effect level/probable effect level values of Environmental Protection Agency guidelines. The degree of contamination for each station was determined. The concentration of different heavy metals has been compared with the world average concentration of shale values. Results of the analysis showed that Vembanad lake is facing serious metal pollution with increased rate of deposition.  相似文献

The sediments of City Park Lake (Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA) are characterized by Pb concentrations that exceed the corresponding National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration probable effect level by more than a factor of two and concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Ni and Zn that exceed the corresponding threshold effect levels. The sediments of the lake are likely to be dredged because of concern over shoaling of the lake. There is concern that exposing these sediments to an oxidizing environment could mobilize toxic metal(loid)s that are effectively sequestered under reducing conditions. To address this concern, mixtures of sediments collected from seven locations in City Park Lake were incubated in microcosms under controlled oxidizing and reducing conditions. The slurries were sampled at time intervals over a period of nearly 750 h, and the dissolved Fe, Mn and trace metal concentrations determined. Eh and pH were negatively correlated, with Eh declining by 600 mV per unit increase in pH. Of the toxic metals, only the concentration of Cu was positively correlated with Eh, apparently because of the sequestration of Cu as a very insoluble sulfide precipitate under low Eh conditions. Precipitation of the other metals as sulfides was evidently insignificant because of the low S content of the sediments. Concentrations of the remaining potentially toxic metals were negatively correlated with Eh, apparently because of their sequestration as oxides and/or adsorption to Fe oxides or oxy-hydroxides. Concentrations of Ca, Mg, and Sr were positively correlated with Eh, presumably because of their sequestration in carbonate precipitates under low Eh/high pH conditions.  相似文献
