Bunch of Heavy Metals Caused Disastrous Condition in Akhtala River Estuary
EcoLur
The bunch of heavy metals caused disastrous condition in the Akhtala River estuary. Under the annual report by “Environmental Impact Monitoring Center” SNCO for 2012, the average annual concentration of copper exceeded MPC 465.8 times, zinc – 337.1, aluminum – 45.2, manganese – 84.7, nitrite ion – 1.3, ammonium ion – 1.5, iron – 3.7, cobalt – 1.5, nickel – 1.1, selenium – 3.0, cadmium – 6.5 times. Thus, the concentration of copper in the Akhtala River estuary made up 4658 μg/l, zinc – 16855, aluminum – 1808, manganese – 4235, nitrite ion – 0.013, ammonium ion – 0.28, iron – 0.35, cobalt – 30, nickel – 11, selenium – 30, cadmium – 0.0325 μg/l.
Under EcoLur’s Ecological Risk Model, the disastrous condition of the Akhtala River estuary is conditioned with the high concentrations of copper, zinc and manganese.
