Abstract:

The distribution of major and trace elements reflects not only the source of material,but also the level of pollution.Chemical elements were determined in water bodies, suspended particulate and sediments for Caoqiao River,Liangxi River and Dapu River discharged by different pollutants.Data showed that phosphorus is high in three rivers and metals were high in the reaches of town and industrial regions.Primary component analysis displays the significant diversity because of rivers receiving industrial wastewater,manucipal sewage and farmland runoff.The elemental pairs of correlative elements revealed the different values in water bodies,suspended matter and sediments,and those differences reflected the characteristics of farmland runoff,industrial and municipal effluences and could be considered indicators of different pollutants.The partition coefficients of particulate to dissolved metals(KD )decrease with Fe>Al>Zn>Cr>Ni>K,Most of them are highest in Caoqiao River and lowest in Liangxi River.KD of Zn is highest in Dapu River and lowest in Caoqiao River,which revealed the different pollution in rivers.It is useful to distinguish the rivers receiving different pollutants in the intense anthropogenic regions.

Key words: trace element, major element, river course, sediment, suspended particulate
