Abstract

Abstract:

Samples of overlying water, suspended particles and bed mud in the Inner Mongolia stretch of the Yellow River were collected systemically and their heavy metal element contents were analysed. Using methods of geo-accumulation and the potential ecological index,the heavy metal concentration, contamination degree and ecological risk of overlying water, suspended particles and bed mud along the Yellow River were studied. The results indicate that concentrations of the suspended particles are generally higher than those of the bed mud except As concentration. The results by geo-accumulation index method show that suspended particles and bed mud are in the state of no-pollution to mid-pollution, and suspended particles are polluted more seriously than the bed mud. The results by potential ecological index method indicate that heavy metal ecological hazard of bed mud and suspended particles are in a state of light-pollution. The evaluation results of the geo-accumulation index method and the potential ecological index method are almost identical.

Key words: surface water, suspended matter, bed mud, Inner Mongolia stretch of the Yellow River
