Pond Sediments Zn Content Distribution and its Pollution Assessment in Sixian County of Anhui Province

Abstract:

After selecting 25 samples from pond sediments in Sixian County, northern Anhui Province, China, this article analyzed the Zn content in pond sediments with X-RF fluorescence spectrometer analysis and carried on the ecological risk evaluation. The results indicate that the concentrations of pond sediments range from 20 to 34 mg/kg with average= 26.7 mg/kg, The lead concentration from high to low is Wuwei, Xinji, Huangwei, Dazhuang, Yangzhuang, central zone. By pollution index evaluation methods and enrichment factors methods, the result of Zn content in pond sediments showed that the Zn content was slight pollution.
