Overview

Analyzes sediment characteristics and heavy metal distribution in lakes, indicating environmental risks.

Key Points

  • The research aims to explore the relationship between sediment grain size and heavy metal distribution in lakes of varied salinity.
  • Analyzed surface sediments from Haihe and Chaqi Salt Lakes in Golmud River Basin.
  • Measured grain size and concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Zn, As, Mn).
  • Utilized potential ecological risk index to assess environmental implications.
  • Chaqi Salt Lake sediments primarily consist of medium-coarse silt and fine silt, indicating a stable depositional environment.
  • Cr, Cu, Pb, Zn, and As levels in Haihe Lake are higher than in Chaqi Salt Lake, showing significant spatial heterogeneity.
  • Ecological risk assessment indicates low enrichment and minimal pollution risk, with Cd and As identified as key elements.
