摘要
Trace metals play an important role in some biogeochemical processes in the marine system. The physical and hydrological conditions in estuaries and coastal seawater are complicated and significantly affected by human activities. Therefore, the biogeochemical behavior and influencing mechanism of trace metals in nearshore water have become a research hotspot. Jiulong River estuary and Xiamen Bay are located in the coastal areas of Fujian Province, which are significantly influenced by Longyan, Xiamen, and Zhangzhou City. In July 2021, November 2021, and January 2022, the trace metals chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and cadmium (Cd) and environmental factors (water temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), suspended particulate matter (SPM), etc.) in Jiulong River estuary and Xiamen Bay were investigated. The results showed that the order of trace metal concentration average values measured in Jiulong River estuary and Xiamen Bay was Mn > Ni > Cu > Cr > Co > Cd. In July 2021, the average values of ρ(Cr), ρ(Mn), ρ(Co), ρ(Ni), ρ(Cu), and ρ(Cd) were 0.159, 47.96, 0.068, 1.56, 1.07, and 0.016 μg.L-1, respectively. In November 2021, the average values were 0.216, 8.48, 0.030, 1.70, 1.92, and 0.019 μg.L-1, respectively. The average concentrations in January 2022 were 0.281, 32.39, 0.062, 2.21, 1.54, and 0.034 μg.L-1, respectively. The concentration of dissolved metals in the estuary was higher than that in the bay area. Principal component analysis showed that the main factors affecting the concentrations of dissolved trace metals were river runoff and anthropogenic activities. © 2022 Science Press.
