The pollution of waterbodies with trace metals is of concern throughout the world due to their high toxicity. One of the main anthropogenic sources of trace metals entering natural waters is the mining and processing of minerals. Intensive development of the mining industry on the Kola Peninsula (the Murmansk region, Russia), exploration and development of new mineral resources have led to a sharp deterioration in the quality of surface waters of rivers and lakes. As a result of anthropogenic impact, accumulation of a wide range of metals (mainly Cu, Ni, Co, Pb, Cd, Mn, Sr, Al and Fe) is observed, as well as significant changes in the physicochemical parameters and radioactive conditions of surface waters. The most polluted waterbodies of the Kola Peninsula are located in the Monchegorsk, Olenegorsk and Apatit regions. Consumption of water from investigated contaminated sources can cause various high risks of human health. The results of this study will provide an informative basis for future risk assessments of the environment and human health, as well as for the development of integrated measures for managing the quality of surface waters of lakes and rivers of the Kola Peninsula.

科拉半岛(俄罗斯西北部摩尔曼斯克州)河流和湖泊的理化性质、痕量金属健康风险和地表水水质指标评估
痕量金属对水体的污染因其高毒性而受到全世界的关注。进入天然水域的微量金属的主要人为来源之一是矿物的开采和加工。科拉半岛(俄罗斯摩尔曼斯克地区)采矿业的密集发展,新矿产资源的勘探开发,导致江河湖泊地表水水质急剧恶化。由于人为影响,观察到多种金属(主要是铜、镍、钴、铅、镉、锰、锶、铝和铁)的积累,以及物理化学参数和放射性条件的显着变化。地表水。科拉半岛污染最严重的水体位于蒙切戈尔斯克、奥列涅戈尔斯克和阿帕蒂特地区。饮用受调查污染源的水会对人类健康造成各种高风险。这项研究的结果将为未来环境和人类健康风险评估以及制定综合措施以管理科拉半岛湖泊和河流的地表水质量提供信息基础。
