Underestimated heavy metal pollution of the Minjiang River, SE China: Evidence from spatial and seasonal monitoring of suspended-load sediments

Jiayu Fan et al.

Summary: The study conducted in Southeast China focused on heavy metal pollution, revealing that the Minjiang River is moderately to strongly polluted by particulate Pb, Cd, Mo and Zn contaminations. The transport and discharge of particulate heavy metals by the river are controlled by both natural and anthropogenic forcings, with pollution levels worse than previously known. Most heavy metals show high concentrations in flood seasons and relatively low concentrations in dry seasons, indicating a hydrologic control, but some show high concentrations in dry season samples, suggesting incidental anthropogenic input events.

Pollution assessment and land use land cover influence on trace metal distribution in sediments from five aquatic systems in southern USA

Varun Paul et al.

Summary: The study found that sediments in agricultural ponds and coastal regions had heavier metal pollution compared to river, swamp, and man-made reservoir systems. Agricultural activities were closely related to metal concentrations in the aquatic systems.

Ecological health assessments of rivers with multiple dams based on the biological integrity of phytoplankton: A case study of North Creek of Jiulong River

Ling Lin et al.

Summary: North Creek of Jiulong River is relatively healthy in summer and fall, but exhibits the worst conditions in winter. More than 50% of sites in the dam reservoir area have lower than moderate ecological health assessments, with the mainstream having lower health levels than tributaries. The PIBI index is correlated with basic water physicochemical parameters and can be used to evaluate river health status effectively.
