摘要

为了了解北大港水库中放射性核素铀(U)和钍(Th)的污染特征、健康风险及污染来源,采用固相萃取-电感耦合等离子体质谱法(ICP-MS)测定北大港水库水体中U和Th的浓度,结合蒙特卡洛模拟,采用内梅罗综合污染指数法和健康风险模型评估水体中U和Th的污染程度及健康风险,最后利用正定矩阵因子分解模型(PMF)分析污染来源。结果表明:①北大港水库水体中U和Th的活度浓度分别为(50.5 ± 16.5)mBq/L和(0.074 ± 0.034)mBq/L,受降水补给减少和蒸散发作用的影响,枯水期浓度高于丰水期的值。②丰水期研究区水体处于清洁和较清洁水平的概率分别为3.16%和96.80%,产生轻度污染的概率为0.04%;枯水期水体处于清洁和较清洁水平的概率分别为0%和83.50%,产生轻度和中度污染的概率分别为16.14%和0.36%。③研究区U和Th的总致癌风险指数为13.93 × 10-6,存在潜在致癌风险;化学毒性风险指数商较小,化学毒性可忽略。④污染源分析结果表明,北大港水库中放射性核素U的来源主要有土壤源、农业源、海洋源和工业源,贡献率分别为24.6%、50.8%、20.9%和3.7%;Th的来源主要有土壤源、海洋源和工业源,贡献率分别为57.6%、32.6%和9.8%。

Abstract

To investigate the pollution characteristics, health risks, and sources of radioactive nuclides uranium (U) and thorium (Th) in Beidagang Reservoir, their concentrations in the water were determined using solid-phase extraction coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The pollution level and health risks posed by U and Th were assessed via the Nemerow composite pollution index method and health risk models, incorporating Monte-Carlo simulations. Finally, pollution source apportionment was conducted using the positive matrix factorization (PMF) model. The results showed that: ① The activity concentrations of U and Th in the water of Beidagang Reservoir were (50.5 ± 16.5) mBq/L and (0.074 ± 0.034) mBq/L, respectively. Concentrations during the dry season were higher than those in the wet season, primarily due to reduced precipitation recharge and enhanced evaporation. ② During the wet season, the probabilities of the water being at clean and relatively clean levels were 3.16% and 96.80%, respectively, with a 0.04% probability of slight pollution. In the dry season, the probability of the water being at clean and relatively clean levels were 0% and 83.50%, while the probabilities of slight and moderate pollution were 16.14% and 0.36%, respectively. ③ The total carcinogenic risk index of U and Th was 13.93 × 10-6, indicating a potential carcinogenic risk. The chemical toxicity hazard quotient was minimal, suggesting that chemical toxicity could be neglected. ④ The pollution source analysis results showed that the main sources of radioactive nuclide U in Beidagang Reservoir were soil, agriculture, marine, and industrial, with contribution rates of 24.6%, 50.8%, 20.9%, and 3.7%, respectively. The main sources of Th were soil, marine, and industrial, with contribution rates of 57.6%, 32.6%, and 9.8%, respectively.
