This study investigated the geochemical fractionation, bioavailability, and potential risk of five heavy metals in the Hangbu-Fengle River sediments. It found that Cd and Zn had higher bioavailability, with pH being an important factor affecting it. The results provide valuable information for assessing the potential bioavailabilities and ecological hazards of heavy metals in similar study areas.
As the largest tributary flowing into Chaohu Lake, China, the Hangbu-Fengle River (HFR) has an important impact on the aquatic environment security of the lake. However, existing information on the potential risks of heavy metals (HMs) in HFR sediments was insufficient due to the lack of bioavailability data on HMs. Hence, geochemical fractionation, bioavailability, and potential risk of five HMs (Cr, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb) in HFR sediments were investigated by the combined use of the diffusive gradient in thin-films (DGT), sequential extraction (BCR), as well as the physiologically based extraction test (PBET). The average contents of Cd and Zn in the HFR Basin were more than the background values in the sediments of Chaohu Lake. A large percentage of BCR-extracted exchangeable fraction was found in Cd (8.69%), Zn (8.12%), and Cu (8.05%), suggesting higher bioavailability. The PBET-extracted fractions of five HMs were all almost closely positively correlated with their BCR-extracted forms. The pH was an important factor affecting the bioavailability of HMs. The average DGT-measured contents of Zn, Cd, Cr, Cu, and Pb were 28.07, 7.7, 3.69, 2.26, 0.5 mu g/L, respectively. Only DGT-measured Cd significantly negatively correlated with Eh, indicating that Cd also had a high release risk under reducing conditions, similar to the risk assessment results. Our results could provide a reference for evaluating the potential bioavailabilities and ecological hazards of HMs in similar study areas.
