Abstract

Discharge of Zarshuran and Agh Darreh streams and travertine springs into Sarouq River and Zarrineh rood Dam lead to ARSENIC and other heavy metal contamination in water and sediment samples. Comparison with average world river concentration indicate that Sarouq River is highly polluted with As, Sb and Hg. Geo-accumulation index revealed that sediments were seriously polluted by As, Hg and Sb. The relatively higher Kd values observed for Hg, Al, Pb, Cu and Mn indicate their preferential association and enrichment in sediments and suggest that they are characterized by a low geochemical mobility in oxidizing Eh and alkaline pH. While lower values for As and Sb suggest that they mostly remains in water. According to multivariate statistical results, travertine springs are only the source of ARSENIC in sediment samples, while the other metals are derived from mining activity. Calculated ecological risk index (RI) and potential ecological risk factor (Ei) values suggesting that ecological quality of Sarouq River and two tributaries is very low.
