  • Pollution Level and Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in Sewage Sludge
    Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research 18 (2), e1103, 9 pages (2020) eISSN: 2171-9292 https://doi.org/10.5424/sjar/2020182-15796 Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA) RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS Pollution level and risk assessment of heavy metals in sewage sludge from eight wastewater treatment plants in Wuhu City, China Hanwen Zhang (Zhang, H), Yuee Huang (Huang, Y), Shu Zhou (Zhou, S), Liangchen Wei (Wei, L), Zhiyuan Guo (Guo, Z) and Jinchun Li (Li, J) School of Public Health, Wannan Medical College, Wuhu, Anhui, China Abstract Aim of study: To investigate the content, contamination levels and potential sources of five heavy metals (Hg, Pb, Cd, Cr, As) in sewage sludge from eight wastewater treatment plants (W1 to W8). Area of study: Wuhu, located in southeastern Anhui Province, southeastern China. Material and methods: The sewage sludge pollution assessment employed the single-factor pollution index, Nemerow’s synthetic po- llution index, monomial potential ecological risk coefficient and potential ecological risk index. The potential sources among the five heavy metals were determined using the Pearson’s correlation analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). Main results: The mean concentrations of the heavy metals were 0.27 mg/kg (Hg), 70.78 mg/kg (Pb), 3.48 mg/kg (Cd), 143.65 mg/kg (Cr) and 22.17 mg/kg (As). W1, W5 and W6 sewage sludge samples showed the highest levels of heavy metal contamination, and cadmium had the highest contamination level in the study area. Pearson’s correlation analysis and PCA revealed that Pb and Cd mainly derived from traffic emissions and the manufacturing industry and that As and Cr originated from agricultural discharges.
