Trace Metals and Major Elements in Sediments of the Northern Persian Gulf
The concentrations of sixteen elements and organic carbon were determined in 78 marine sediment samples collected from the Iranian coastal waters of the Persian Gulf. Nine transects perpendicular to the coastline were sampled. Sixteen elements, including As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn (trace metals) and Ca, Fe, Mg, Na, P, S, Si (major metals), were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma M...
متن کاملHeavy Metals Contamination in the Surface Sediments of Talar River, north of Iran
Background and Purpose: The contamination by potentially toxic element (PTE) is a common environmental issue in worldwide rivers. The present study examined PTEs concentration in sediments of Talar River which is one of the main rivers in the Sothern Caspian Basin. Materials and Methods: The sediment samples (n= 44) were collected from top 0–5 cm of surface sediment in the main channel and flo...
متن کاملGeochemistry analysis of river sediments, carbonate cemented and paleosols horizons and the implications for provenance and chemical weathering (Case Study: Saqqez River)
Introduction In theory, the bulk composition of the sediment may provide a way of determining the provenance of this material if there is sufficient diversity in the bedrock compositions. However, sediment compositions may be changed from the original bedrock as a result of transport and chemical weathering. The geochemistry of bedload and suspended sediments has been used by many workers to d...
متن کاملMill pond sediments as the indicator of the environment of the drainage area (an example of Liswarta River, Odra basin, Poland)
The geochemical characteristics of sediments deposited within a channel-type reservoir situated behind the weir of a water mill on the River Liswarta (southern Poland) were studied in relation to land use in the catchment. The catchment in question is an agricultural one with large forest areas. The contamination of sediments with trace elements was assessed using the geoaccumulation index. The...
متن کاملSource Fingerprinting of Sediment Deposited in the Dam Reservoir: A Case of Lavar Dam Watershed, Fin, Hormozgan Province
Extended abstract 1. Introduction Soil erosion is a major environmental threat worldwide. This three-stage process including detachment, transportation and sedimentation of soil particle by runoff affects natural and agricultural areas of Iran. Soil erosion has many off-site and on-site effects such as sediment deposition in the lake of dam and channels, transportation of nutrients and contam...
