چکیده مقاله:
The contamination of coastal sediments with toxic heavy metals
caused to a serious concern due to their environmental consequences.
The aim of this study was to determine the concentration of heavy
metals such as lead (Pb), copper (Cu), nickel(Ni) and manganese
(Mn) in the sediments of the Persian Gulf coast in Kangan and Siraf
ports in Bushehr province. In this regard, the sampling was performed
in ۱۰ stations with different uses in two depths of ۰-۵ and ۵-۲۰ cm
along the coast of the Persian Gulf. The concentration of heavy
metals was measured after drying, acid digestion and microwave by
using flame atomic absorption spectrometry (F-AAS). Ecological risk
index was used to assess the potential of environmental risk due to
heavy metal pollution in the coastal sediments of the study area and
the sensitivity of the biological community to toxic substances. Then
statistical analysis in SPSS environment was used for analyzing the
data. The results showed that the average concentrations of Mn(II),
Ni(II), Cu(II) and Pb(II) was measured ۱۲۱.۴۷, ۱۱.۵۱, ۱۱.۵۹ and ۵.۳۰
in surface sediments, and ۱۳۱.۵۹, ۱۰.۸۱, ۱۲.۵۶ and ۴.۸۸ μg g-۱ in deep
sediments. The results of the ecological risk index with the value of
less than ۱۵۰, showed a low environmental risk of heavy metals
detected in the region. Also, the results of multivariate statistical
analyzes indicated the existence of a correlation and common origin
of Cu, Ni and Mn. In general, this study led to a better understanding
of the contamination of heavy metals in the region and considered it
necessary to try to prevent, control and reduce the amount of pollution
in the sediments of the Persian Gulf coast. All analysis validated
by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry(ET-AAS) after
dilution samples with DW.
