Abstract

Some physico-chemical properties and the concentrations of the metals Fe, Mn, Ni, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Pb, and Zn in water and sediments were examined from September 2011 to January 2012 in Bodo Creek, where oil spills have been recurrent. Temperature, pH, total dissolved solid, conductivity, salinity, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total hardness, sulfate, nitrate, and phosphate were determined in surface water. Particle size, total organic matter (TOM), and pH were also determined in the sediments. The parameters were within permissible limits except the mean values of BOD, COD, total hardness, and sulfate that exceeded levels permissible for domestic use. The sediments consisted mainly of sand, with TOM ranging from 0.2% to 5.5%. With the exception of cadmium that was below detection limit, metal levels (mg kg−1) in the sediments were 12 (Mn), 1070 (Fe), 10 (Cu), 10 (Zn), 5.3 (Cr), 1.1 (Pb), 1.0 (Ni), and 0.5 (Co) while in water they were 24, 98, 21, 6.9, 4.0, 0.6, 0.18, and 0.16, respectively. The latter were higher than World Health Organization recommended permissible levels for both surface and drinking water.

尼日利亚尼日尔三角洲博多河水体及沉积物理化性质及金属含量评价

2011年9月至2012年1月，研究了石油泄漏频发的Bodo Creek地区水和沉积物中Fe、Mn、Ni、Cd、Cr、Co、Cu、Pb和Zn等金属的一些物理化学性质和浓度。测定地表水的温度、pH、总溶解固形物、电导率、盐度、溶解氧、生物需氧量(BOD)、化学需氧量(COD)、总硬度、硫酸盐、硝酸盐和磷酸盐。测定了沉积物的粒径、总有机质(TOM)和pH值。除BOD、COD、总硬度和硫酸盐的平均值超出了家庭使用允许的水平外，其他参数均在允许的范围内。沉积物以砂为主，有机质含量在0.2% ~ 5.5%之间。除镉低于检测限外，沉积物中的金属含量(mg kg−1)分别为12 (Mn)、1070 (Fe)、10 (Cu)、10 (Zn)、5.3 (Cr)、1.1 (Pb)、1.0 (Ni)和0.5 (Co)，水中的金属含量分别为24、98、21、6.9、4.0、0.6、0.18和0.16。后者高于世界卫生组织建议的地表水和饮用水的允许水平。
