摘要

Abstract

With the development of economy

the impact of human activities on ecological environment is increasing

and environmental protection work is important. Trace elements (Co

and Sc) in surface fine-grained sediment samples from the Jiaozhou Bay catchment were selected to evaluate their 2015 environmental background values and the environmental quality. Using statistical analysis

the environmental background values (ranges) of Sc

and Cr were calculated

being 13.1 (10.8–15.4)

12.4 (8.6–16.2)

32.0 (22.9–41.2)

29.6 (13.5–64.9)

24.1 (13.0–44.6)

77.6 (38.5–156.5)

0.07 (0.02–0.20)

and 82.5 (66.5–104.0) mg/kg

respectively. The enrichment factor

contamination factor

and pollution load index were used to evaluate the pollution status of the Jiaozhou Bay catchment. The environmental background values of most elements are higher than those of the upper continental crust and lower than those of global shale. At present

the pollution in the eastern Jiaozhou Bay is much higher than that in the western part. The results shall be helpful for future management for trace element pollution monitoring in the Jiaozhou Bay catchment.
