The Differentiation between Point and Diffuse Industrial Pollution of the Floodplain of the Ploucnice River, Czech Republic

Original language description

Pollution by heavy metals (Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sb and Zn), Ra-226 and U was studied in eight profiles (1.0-1.8 m deep) in the floodplain sediments of the Ploucnice River, the Czech Republic. The element concentrations were processed by establishing local geochemical background functions from non-polluted overbank fines yet not affected by reductimorphic processes and a subsequent calculation of enrichment factors in the polluted strata. In the case of Cu and Ni, the geogenic variability of the watershed (Cretaceous marine sediments and Cenozoic volcanics and their weathering products) was successfully handled using different background functions in two parts of the studied area, which allowed us to decipher the anthropogenic and natural portions of the heavy metals and hence evaluate the history of pollution. The upper course of the river drains an extensive area of so-called chemical mining (underground acid leaching of low-grade U-bearing sediments) and hydrometallurgical processing in S
