摘要
The pollution characteristics of As,Cd,Cu,Hg,Zn,Ni,Cd and Pb in the sediments of the Chaohu Lake,Poyang Lake and Taihu lake were analyzed,and the potential ecological risk of heavy metal pollution was assessed using Hakanson ecological risk index.The results showed that spatial variations in Hg and Cd contents were significantly higher than those in reference values.Potential ecological risk assessment results showed that the ecological risk of Hg and Cd produced by harmful levels was higher in the three lakes,which were a major contributor to ecological risk hazard index,the ecological risk follows the order of Poyang Lake> Taihu lake >Chaohu Lake,the ecological environments of the Chaohu Lake and Taihu lake were better,and that of the Poyang Lake was relatively poor.
