摘要
Contamination with As, Cd and Hg, their spatial and temporal distribution are reported from the coastal wetland sediments of the northern Beibu Gulf, South China Sea. The content of As, Cd, Hg and TOC in surface sediments is 8.1 +/- 5.8 mu g g(-1), 0.08 +/- 0.14 mu g g(-1), 0.034 +/- 0.028 mu g g(-1) and 0.45 +/- 0.39%, respectively. The mean sedimentation rates are 0.93-1.37 cm year(-1) during 1920s to 2008 determined by Pb-210 and Cs-137 dating in three cores. The vertical profiles of As, Cd and Hg content in the cores retrieved from Qin and Nanliu River estuaries show increasing trends during 1985-2008 due to anthropogenic impact caused by local economic development. Locally the surface sediments have potential ecological risk of As to benthos according to the NOAA sediment quality guidelines. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
