Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the spatial distribution and ecological risks of heavy metals in sediments from major lakes in China.
Conducted a multi-metric assessment of sediment samples from major lakes.
Analyzed concentrations of heavy metals, particularly focusing on cadmium (Cd).
Assessed ecological risks associated with identified pollutants.
Cadmium (Cd) identified as a priority pollutant requiring immediate action.
Spatial patterns reveal elevated levels of heavy metals in certain areas.
Findings inform policymakers for region-specific pollution control strategies.

Abstract

) remained within acceptable limits. This multi-metric assessment underscores Cd as a priority pollutant requiring urgent mitigation. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers to design region-specific pollution control strategies and advance sustainable lake management in China.
