Abstract

The area studied in this research is a part of the River Kor in Fars province and the area is located Southern Marvdasht and 50 Km north of Shiraz city. Since the Shiraz petrochemical plant, factories and industrial centers of Marvdasht City are based around the Kor River, environmentally destructive effects of heavy metals on the Kor River are very important. To investigate the distribution and mobility of potentially toxic elements and the origin of these in the Kor River, samples were collected at 9 stations along the river from the fine grain sediment (particles smaller than 63 microns) and were analyzed by ICP-OES method. Comparison of samples analysis with background and world standards indicated high concentration of As, Pb, Zn, Ni and Cr in some sampling stations. To estimate the intensity of pollution in the area, INDEX OF GEOACCUMULATION (Igeo), ENRICHMENT FACTOR (EF), POLLUTION INDEX (PI) and ANTHROPOGENIC factor (An) are used. Correlation coefficients obtained between pollutant elements show that the elements arsenic, lead and zinc have high correlation with each other due to the same origin, release and deposition of these elements under the surface conditions along the river. This study shows that the highest concentrations of pollutants in the river of Kor are around the Shiraz petrochemical plant, Marvdasht industrial factories and urban waste water effluent entering to the river.
