    Author: He M, Liu GJ, Wu L, Qi CC.
    Journal: Huan Jing Ke Xue; 2021 Nov 08; 42(11):5346-5354. PubMed ID: 34708973.
    Abstract:
    The spatial distribution characteristics of the mass concentration of V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Fe, and Sb in the Chaohu Lake basin and ten surrounding rivers during the wet season were explored. The results showed that the average mass concentration of heavy metals in the western and northwestern Chaohu Lake surrounding rivers was higher than that in the central and eastern regions. The correlation analysis showed a significant positive correlation between the concentrations of Cu, Ni, Zn, Pb, and Cd, which indicated a similarity of spatial distribution among the five elements. The single-factor pollution index evaluation results classified Cr in the ten surrounding rivers as Grade I based on the Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water. Pb was classified as Grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ; Cu and Zn as Grade Ⅰ-Ⅴ; Fe, Sb, and V were far below the standard limit; Ni slightly exceeded the standard at some sampling points of the Nanfei River; Mn slightly exceeded the standard at some points of the Shiwuli and Pai River; Cd exceeded the standard at some points of the Nanfei River. Except Mn at one point of the Tangxi River, V, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, and Fe were all<1, which indicated clean and pollution-free level. The integrated pollution index of the rivers surrounding the lake in the northwestern part was the highest compared to the southwestern, central, and eastern parts.
