The Evaluation and Concentration of Heavy Metal in Water of the Oil Spill Area in Bohai Bay (China) during the Spring

Article Preview

Abstract:

The heavy metal content of water in the oil spill area of Bohai Bay had been evaluated though the determination results, the distribution and variation difference of the heavy metal content in water had been discussed, In 2013 spring, 32 water samples had been collected in the oil spill area of Bohai Bay to measure chromium(Cr), zinc(Zn), copper(Cu), arsenic(As), cadmium(Cd), mercury(Hg) and lead(Pb) content. In surface water the heavy metal content from high to low was Cu, Zn, Cr, As, Pb, Cd, Hg, and the same as it in bottom water. Cr, As, Cd, Hg and Pb were not beyond first class value of the seawater quality standard except Zn and Cu.
