چکیده

Variations of heavy metals concentrations (Pb, Zn, Ni and Cd) in suspended matter as well as the physical properties (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and pH) at five coastal sites and one reference station (offshore) were measured on seasonal base of the year 2005. Seasonal variations of seawater temperature, salinity, pH and dissolved oxygen were significant different, meanwhile; spatial variations among different stations were not significant. Temporal variations of heavy metal concentrations were significantly different (P< 0.001); the highest concentrations were detected in spring 0.003 and 0.137 ppm for Pb and Zn respectively. Very low concentrations of Cd (not exceed 0.001 ppm) were detected in autumn and winter. Very low concentrations of Pb, Zn and Cd metals were detected in all sampling stations except Ni the concentrations were ranged between 0.12 and 0.108 ppm; however, variations among different sampling sites were not significant (p= 0.84) ةرزنلا رصانعلا زيآارت يف ريغتلا ةسارد مت دقل ) Pb, Zn, Ni, Cd ( هايملل ةيئ ايزيفلا صئاصخلا كلاذآ و ةقلاعلا داوملا يف ) ةجرد ةرارحلا ، ةحولملا ، ةحولملا ةجرد و بئاذلا نيجسآلاا ( سمخ يف ةيعجرم ةدحاو ةقطنم و ةيلحاس قطانم ) ةحوتفملا هايملا ( ساسا ىلع ماعلل يليصف 2005 , يفةيونعم تاريغت ةساردلا جئاتن ترهضا دقل ةرارحلا ةجرد ، ةحولملا ، لوصفلل باذملا نيجسآلاا و ةضومحلا ةفلتخملا نآاملاا نيب ةيرهوج تاريغت يا رهظت مل امنيب ةفلتخملا . ايرهوج ناآ ةفلتخملا رصانعلا زيآارتل ينامزلا ريغتلا ) P< 0.001 ( امنيب زيآارتل يناكملا ريغتلا ايرهوج نكي مل ةفلتخملا رصانعلا ) .(P= 0.84 عيبرلا لصف للاخ هدصر مت زيآرت ىلعا 0.137 ءوزج رصنعل نويلملا يف Zn و 0.003 رصنعل نويلملا يف ءوزج ,Pb لقا زيآرت رصنعل ءاتشلاو فيرخل ا لاصف للاخ هدصر مت 0.001 ) Cd نويلملا يف ءوزج ( . ةليلق زيآارت ةساردلا ترهظا دقل رصانعلل (Cd, Zn, Pb) رصنع ادع ام ةساردلا قطانم عيمج يف Ni دصر مت دقف نيب ام تحوارت زيآارت 0.1080.12 نويلملا يف ءوزج .

Evaluation of Some Physiochemical Parameters and Heavy Metal Contamination in Hara Biosphere Reserve, Iran, Using a New Pollution Index Approach

Background: The pollution of the aquatic environment with heavy metals has become a worldwide problem during recent years, due to their potential toxic effects and ability to bio-accumulate in aquatic ecosystems. Heavy metals are sensitive indicators for monitoring changes in the aquatic environment. Methods: In this study, total concentrations of Cr, Pb, Cu, Zn, and Fe were measured in water...

Speciation of heavy metals in coastal water of Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf

Fuel storage tanks are one of the main sources of water pollution as well as loss of crude oil and oil products in refineries.  In the process of utilization of these tanks, considerable amounts of hydrocarbons may find their way into the coastal water, which eventually lead to loss of valuable hydrocarbons. Oil type, climatic condition and characteristics of oil tanks are among the main variab...

Study of Metals Concentrations in Surface Sediments of the Persian Gulf Coastal Area (Bushehr Province)

Since heavy metals are considered as one of the major pollutants threatening, the main goal of this study was to bring out the concentrations of Pb, Zn and Mn in the surface sediments off Bushehr in the Persian Gulf. For this purpose, after collection of samples, the concentrations of the three metals in surface sediments were measured through the atomic absorption. The results were compared wi...
