Abstract In order to investigate the spatial distribution characteristics of heavy metals, and to discriminate their sources and potential ecological risks in surface sediments of the Hejiang River, a sum of 41surface sediment samples were collected. Total contents of As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, Tl, V, Zn and Fe in these samples were measured by the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and the inductive plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Principal component analysis (PCA) and Pearson correlation analysis were used to deduce its potential emission sources of these elements. Geo-accumulation index (Igeo), enrichment factor (EF) and the Hakanson's potential ecological risk index (Eri and RI) were calculated to evaluate the pollution degree and ecological risk level of heavy metals in sediments, respectively. Results showed that the contents of heavy metals in sediments were impacted by human activities in different extent, only the average contents of As, Cd, Cu, Mn, Pb, Sb, Tl and Zn were higher than the background values. The calculated Igeos and EFs also showed that the contaminated degree of heavy metals in a descending order were Sb > As > Cd > Pb > Zn > Tl > Cu > Mn > Co > V > Ni > Cr, besides, the Hejiang River was not contaminated by Co, Ni, V and Cr. The ecological risk indexes (Eri) for all selected metals in a descending order were Sb > Tl > As > Cd > Pb > Cu > Co >Ni > Zn > V > Mn > Cr. Compared with the assessment results of Geo-accumulation index (Igeo) and enrichment factor (EF), Eri can more scientifically reflect the aquatic environmental quality and ecological hazards of sediments. Moreover, the comprehensive indexes of potential ecological risks (RI) for heavy metals ranged from 65.63 to 1142, and the sum Eri value of As, Cd, Sb and Tl accounted for 88.30% of RI, suggesting that the Hejiang River occured high potential ecological risk of As, Cd, Sb and Tl. The PCA results showed that the cumulative proportion of the first two components accounted for 79.80% of the total variables, suggesting that As, Cd, Cu, Mn, Pb, Sb, Tl and Zn were controlled by anthropogenic source including agricultural activities, urban wastewater, aquaculture and mining industry, and Fe, Co, Cr, Ni and V were mainly contributed by natural sources such as rock weathering.
