Spatial Distribution of Zinc in the Surface Sediments of Love River Estuary, Taiwan

摘要：

　　The spatial distribution,enrichment,and accumulation of Zinc (Zn) in the surface sediments of Love River estuary,Taiwan,were studied.Results show that samples collected from ten stations near the estuary of Love River contain 426-962 mg/kg of Zn with average of 712± 196 mg/kg.The spatial distribution of Zn reveals is relatively high in the river mouth region,and gradually diminishes toward the harbor region.This indicates that upstream industrial and municipal wastewater discharges along the river bank are major sources of pollution.Enrichment factor analysis indicates that the sediments of Love River estuary were severe enrichment with Zn.Geo-accumulation index analysis indicates that the sediments of Love River estuary were moderately strong accumulated with Zn.Base on the comparison with sediment quality guidelines (SQGs),the concentrations of Zn in the sediments of Love River estuary may cause acute biological damage.
