The Quantity of Heavy Metals in Sediments around Mattapon Shipwreck, Chonburi Province
Abstract
This research was studied on some heavy metals in sediment around Mattapon Shipwreck, mounted at 22m depth, located in Northeast of Koh Lan, Chonburi Province from 12 stations including the near, middle and outer aspects of each side and one reference point (700 meters from the shore). Sediments were acid digested and analyzed for the following six selected heavy metals: Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), and Zinc (Zn). The study was conducted 5 times in June, October and December in 2017, March and June in 2018. The results showed that the average amount of Copper was 0.08-0.49 mg/kg, Manganese 28.21-45.18 mg/kg, Iron 609.79-1213.75 mg/kg, Cadmium 0.21-0.70 mg/kg, and Lead 9.08-13.94 mg/kg. The concentrations of theses heavy metals except Manganese were higher than the reference point. However, the concentration of heavy metals were gradually decreased by time. In comparison with other two areas – Banglamung and Maptaphut, the concentration of Lead in the study area was higher than both areas. However, the mean concentrations of these heavy metals in sediment did not exceed the critical concentrations levels that will affect the organisms and marine ecosystem.
