Pollutant dispersal and stability in a severely polluted floodplain: A case study in the Litavka River, Czech Republic
Original language description
The fluvial system of the Litavka River in the Czech Republic has been severely polluted by polymetallic ore mining and smelting that occurred mainly between the 1780s and 1970s. To decipher the mechanisms of the pollution transport pathways, we analysedriver valley sediments from river headwaters upstream from the ore district through mining and smelting areas to downstream sites. We sampled recently inundated areas as well as sites just outside 100-year (Q100) inundation. In the river valley, it wasnecessary to distinguish anthropogenic alluvium (AA) floodplain sediments produced due to ore mining and processing.AA had changed K/Rb signal ratios (measured by energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence, ED XRF); Pb and Zn pollution; and Pb-206/Pb-207 isotope ratios. The main part of the primary pollution of the river system was deposited in 19th century and during the first half of the 20th century, a few kilometres far downstream from the primary pollution sources (waste deposits of ore m
