英文摘要 | The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a unique area with water sources for approximately 40 % of the population in the world. Water resources and water quality are closely associated with ecological security and human health. Fiftyone trace elements in surface water samples (n = 40) were measured, and water quality, health and ecological risks were assessed. Trace elements showed significant variations in different surface water bodies in the study area. Concentrations of minor elements were relatively high in saline and salt lakes while those of REEs varied from 0.05 to 33.62 mu g/L with an average value of 3.80 mu g/L. The Nemerow pollution index (NP) values of trace elements ranged from 0.08 to 3.48, with an average value of 0.36 in rivers, fresh lakes and reservoir water samples; The heavy metal pollution index (HPI) values ranged from 3.70 to 21.18, indicating that most samples were within the critical limit; The heavy metal evaluation index (HEI) values and degree of contamination (DC) values indicated a free pollution status. The water quality index (WQI) values showed that 96 % of the samples belonged to excellent status in rivers, fresh lakes and reservoir water samples. More attention should be given to the Cr, Zn and Hg in the study area according to potential ecological risk assessment. Hazard quotients for residential children in 30 sites exceed 1.0 with maximal value of 10.97, suggesting the high non-carcinogenic risks for children in the study area. U, Zr and Cr for the ingestion pathway, Cr and U for the dermal pathway were primary contributors to the total health risk. Carcinogenic risk values of trace elements for residential and recreational receptors were in the range of 3.20 x 10-5-7.38 x 10-3 and 8.62 x 10-6-3.63 x 10-3, respectively. The carcinogenic risk values of Cr in surface water were higher than the target risk of 1 x 10-4, while the carcinogenic risk values of As were below the target risk. The results of this study provided information on trace elements for human health protection and water management in the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. |
