Abstract

Asa River sediment samples (26) were collected and analyse to determine seasonal concentrations, spatial and assessment contamination of heavy metals which includes Pb, Cu, Co, Cr, Ni, Zn, Al, Fe and Mn. The purpose of this research is to assess concentrations of heavy metals and degree of contamination in the Asa River sediments. The mean concentrations are as follows 0.75 mg/kg for Pb, 47.70 mg/kg for Cu, 34.88 mg/kg for Co, 54.35 mg/kg for Cr, 25.06 mg/kg for Ni, 34.70 mg/kg for Zn, 30.53 mg/kg for Al, 16.74 mg/kg for Fe and 11.84 mg/kg for Mn. To assess metal contamination in sediments, sediment quality guidelines were applied. The mean concentration of Cu and Co exceeded the USEPA guidelines. The metal contamination in the sediments was also evaluated by applying Enrichment Factor (EF), Contamination Factor (CF), Geoaccumulation Index (I_geo) and Pollution Load Index (PLI). Based on EF, the Asa River sediments have less deficiency for Pb, Cr, Ni, Zn, Al, Fe and Mn while Cu and Co have moderate enrichment. According to CF: Cu, Co, Cr, Zn and Al have moderate contamination while Pb, Ni, Fe and Mn have low contamination. According to I_geo, the Asa River sediments are unpolluted to moderately polluted. Based on PLI, most sampling sites suggest no overall pollution of site quality.
