By collecting river water and surface sediment samples at 12 sampling sites of Longjiang river in Guangxi province during its wet season, dry season and normal season, the authors analyzed the temporal as well as spatial distribution of heavy metals by measuring the content of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn elements in both water and sediments. Results show that there exists heavy metal contamination in the Longjiang river to some extent and that in terms of vertical distribution the pollution tends to be reduced. During wet season, heavy metals transform from as-deposited state to suspended state which has the possibility of pollution. In terms of spatial distribution, Cd is the main contamination element in this river and there is Pb pollution to a certain degree.Downloads
