摘要:

随着经济的快速发展,城镇化和工业化成为影响地下水环境的重要因素。沿海城市化地区地下水中砷来源复杂,不仅有各种人为来源,天然沉积环境更是造成高砷地下水的主要成因。本文通过对比珠江三角洲地区不同历史时期水化学组分变化,采用离子比和主成分分析技术,研究了城镇化背景下研究区不同类型含水层地下水中砷的分布特征及成因。结果表明,研究区浅层地下水砷浓度介于未检出至420 μg·L-1之间,主要以As(Ⅲ)的形态存在,孔隙含水层的砷浓度普遍高于裂隙和岩溶含水层。取自研究区的1 567组地下水化学样品测试结果显示,ρ(As)>10 μg·L-1的高砷地下水样品检出89组,占比5.7%。其中,孔隙、裂隙和岩溶含水层高砷地下水分别检出82组、4组和3组,占比分别为7.8%、0.8%和9.7%。高砷地下水主要分布在城镇化地区,其比例为非城市化地区的5倍以上。对比历史水化学数据,近10年新增城镇建设用地浅层高砷地下水中砷浓度平均值增加了30%。高砷地下水通常具有pH值较高、氧化-还原电位(Eh)较低等特性。地下水中砷浓度与 NH 4 +、Fe、Mn浓度及耗氧量呈正相关。三角洲平原区第四系基底富含有机质的淤泥质沉积地层,在微生物降解和有机质矿化作用下,固着砷的铁(氧)氢氧化物被还原溶解促使砷释放富集。城镇化过程中含砷工业废水的泄漏入渗是佛山市南部顺德区地下水中砷的另一重要来源。受原生沉积环境和人为输入双重作用,三角洲平原区所形成的中性至弱碱性还原环境是高砷地下水赋存的主要成因。

Abstract:

A high level of arsenic (As) in groundwater (ρ(As)>10 μg/L) is a potential threat to safe drinking water and the ecological environment. The sources of As in groundwater derived from coastal urbanized areas are complex, which mainly include various anthropogenic and geogenic sources. The rapidly urbanized Pearl River Delta was selected as the study area. The occurrence of and key driving factors for As enrichment in the shallow aquifers in areas with different urbanization levels in the Pearl River Delta were evaluated via mathematical statistics and principal component analysis. According to the results, the total dissolved As concentration in shallow groundwater ranged from below the detection limit to 420 μg·L-1 in the study area, with As(Ⅲ) as the main form. ρ(As) was found to be generally higher in porous aquifers than in fractured or karst aquifers. The proportion of As in the groundwater of urbanized areas was more than five times that of non-urbanized areas. Among the 1567 groups of groundwater samples collected from the study area, 89 high As groups, or 5.7% of total, had high level of As (ρ(As) >10 μg·L-1). Among them, 82 groups were from shallow porous aquifers, 4 groups from fissure aquifers, and 3 groups from karst aquifers, accounting for 7.8%, 0.8%, and 9.7% of total, respectively. Compared with historical hydrochemical data collected from 2005 to 2008, the average ρ(As) in shallow high As groundwater of newly added construction areas increased by 30% in 10 years. The chemical type of high As groundwater mainly included HCO3-Ca and Cl-Na types, characterized by high pH, low redox potential (Eh), low NO 3 - concentration, and positive correlation between ρ(As) and concentrations of NH 4 +, Fe, and Mn or oxygen consumption. Under microbial degradation and mineralization of organic matter, reductive dissolution of As-bearing iron (oxygen) hydroxide in the Quaternary basement muddy sedimentary strata in the Delta plain was identified as the cause of As mobilization. The leaking and infiltration of As-containing industrial wastewater produced during the urbanization process were also important sources of As in groundwater in Shunde District, southern Foshan City. Due to the dual effects of the original sedimentary environment and human input, the neutral to weakly alkaline, closed to semi-closed reducing environment that is rich in organic matter formed in the Delta plain, was the main cause of the occurrence of high As in groundwater.
