摘要:The aim of the study was to assess the ecological risk of five
trace metals, i.e. Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, accumulated in bottom sediments of
young water reservoir – Bardowskiego Lagoon located in Warsaw, Poland.
In this case, several indices were used, i.e.: Geoaccumulation index (Igeo),
Contamination factor (CF), Potential ecological risk factor (ER), Degree of
contamination (DC), Pollution load index (PLI) and Risk index (RI).
The average trace metals concentrations in sediments, were as follow:
Zn > Pb > Cu > Cd > Ni. The obtained results revealed that bottom sediments
were very highly to extremely high contaminated by Cd and the ecological
risk related with this pollutant was the largest. They also indicated that water
from the study area was characterized by a low ecological quality, especially
due to the content of Cd and Pb. The research proves that problem of
cadmium contamination in bottom sediments of young water reservoirs is
real and poses a serious ecological risk.
