Occurrence and Risk Assessment of Microplastics in a Source Water Reservoir in Middle Reaches of Yellow River
As an emerging contaminant, the spatial distribution characteristics of microplastics in source water reservoirs warrant further attention from researchers. In this study, the Luhun Reservoir, which is situated in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, was selected as the object. Field sampling and detection were conducted to ascertain the presence of microplastics in water and sediment. The results indicated that the abundance of microplastics in the water varied from 1.60 to 13.26 items/L, while in the sediment it ranged from 792.38 to 2352.00 items/kg. Polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyamides exhibited higher levels in the water, whereas polyamides and polyethylene were more predominant in the sediments. Additionally, the surface layer exhibited the highest abundance of microplastics, followed by the bottom, while the intermediate layer displayed the lowest. As the depth increased, there was a gradual decrease in the proportion of polyethylene and an increase in the proportions of polyethylene terephthalate and polyamides. The risk assessment results showed that the Pollution Risk Index value of the water was 201.79, while the sediment had a value of 184.98, indicating a moderate potential ecological risk. This study provides valuable insights into the spatial distribution patterns of microplastics at different water depths and provides crucial data support for understanding the migration patterns of microplastics in source water reservoirs.
