For the first time, the content of heavy metal element Cr, Cd, Cu, Zn and Pb is tested in the upper lake sediment of Toson Lake. It has been determined that the average concentrations of Cr, Cd, Cu, Zn, and Pb in the sediments are respectively 32.9 mg.kg-1,2.2 mg.kg-1,19.5mg.kg-1,188.5 mg.kg-1and 32.3 mg.kg-1. Compared with the regional background values and values, Cd and Zn concentrations in the sediments are relatively higher. The results show that in addition to the Cd pollution seriously, the Toson Lake sediments are polluted slightly by Cr, Cu, Zn and Pb. Through the analysis of the elements after Ti correction results show that the contents of heavy metal elements apparently turn increased volatility in 10cm sedimentary section. It indicates that Cr, Cu, Zn and Pb in Toson Lake mainly come from the watershed of elements in rocks and minerals made and Cd pollution could be attributed to human activities. |
