Spatial Distribution, Ecological Risk Assessment and Source Analysis of Heavy Metals Pollution in Urban Lake Sediments of Huaihe River Basin.

ABSTRACT: Heavy metals in freshwater lake sediments often exist in various chemical forms. However, the investigation and evaluation of heavy-metal elements in the sediments of the study area have not been reported, and there is a lack of objective understanding of the concentration level of heavy-metal elements. Therefore, this study is the first to report the concentrations, sources, and potential ecological risks of heavy metals in the sediments of Chengdong Lake and Chengxi Lake in Huoqiu County, Anhui Province, China. The spatial distribution, pollution characteristics, potential pollution sources, and ecological risks of heavy metals in the sediments of Chengxi Lake and Chengdong Lake of Huoqiu City in the middle section of Huaihe River in Anhui Province, China have not been reported.
