The Evaluation of Heavy Metals in Seawater of the Oil Spill Area in Bohai Bay (China) during the Summer

Article Preview

Abstract:

There were 28 seawater samples collected from seawater of the oil spill area in Bohai Bay (China) during summer, 2013. The content of heavy metal was measured. The order of content from high to low was Zn, Cu, Cr, As, Pb, Cd, Hg, Zn, Cu in surface seawater. The order was Zn, Cu, As, Cd, Pb, Hg in the bottom. There was little difference between heavy metal content in the bottom and on the surface. According to the pollution index of points, sampling points are not affected by Cr and As; As for Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd and Hg, there were different effects on the sea seawater in Bohai Bay.
