Abstract

This paper analyzed the content, pollution level, distribution and source of Cd in surface waters in Jiaozhou Bay in 1983. Results showed that Cd contents in May, September and October ranged from 0.09-0.41 g L-1, 0.40-3.33 g L-1, and 0.41-1.50 g L-1, respectively. Cd contents in different seasons in both surface waters were in order of spring < summer < autumn. Cd contents in spring were conformed to the upper limit for Cd in Grade I (1.0 g L-1) in Sea water quality standard (GB 3097-1997) of China, while for summer and autumn were Grade I or Grade II (5.0 g L-1). The pollution level of Cd in Jiaozhou Bay was very lightly in 1983. Maritime transport and the input from head of the island were the two major sources; stream flow discharge and overland runoff were also responsible.
