Abstract

With a water discharge of 41.0 × 10⁹ m³/yr and sediment load of 1.1 × 10⁹ tons/yr, the Huanghe is the most turbid large world river. This study examines concentrations of eight dissolved trace metals (Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) in the Huanghe. Trace metals occur at levels lower than frequently reported in China. There are correlations between the metals and major elements (e.g. SiO₄^4-) in the river, indicating the significance of weathering and erosion in controlling water chemistry. Anthropogenic contributions cannot be assessed accurately from this study, but do not appear to change element levels dramatically.
