Abstract

Based on the analysis on the content and spatio-temporal distribution of Zn in surface waters in Jiaozhou Bay in 1983, this paper assessed the pollution level, pollution source and source strength of Zn, and to assess the impacts from human activities and sea water pollutant background in the early stage of the Chinese reform and opening up. Results showed that Zn contents in surface waters in Jiaozhou Bay in May, September and October 1983 were 1.96-117.50 g L-1, 7.14-42.50 g L-1 and 2.36-14.00 g L-1, respectively. This bay was heavy polluted by Zn in May, yet in September and October was slightly polluted by Zn. The major sources of Zn in Jiaozhou Bay were marine current, overland runoff, stream flow, marine trafic and small peninsula, whose source strengths were 117.50 g L-1, 84.62 g L-1, 13.08-78.84 g L-1, 42.50 g L-1 and 14.00 g L-1, and the impacts from human activities were still lower than sea water pollutant background in 1983.
