摘要： This study investigates the distribution and probabilistic ecotoxicological risk assessment of nutrients and metal (loid)s in the Chishui River, the last natural tributary of the upper Yangtze River, which plays a crucial role in maintaining regional biodiversity and water quality. Understanding the impact of contaminants in this ecologically significant river is essential for effective environmental management. Sediment samples were analyzed using diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) to measure labile concentrations of nutrients and metal(loid)s, revealing significant spatial variability. Concentrations of PO4-P, NH4-N, NO3-N, and metal(loid)s such as Mn, Fe, Cu, and Zn varied notably across sampling sites. Risk quotient (RQ) analysis identified Mn as posing the highest ecological risk, followed by Cu and Fe. A combined probabilistic risk assessment using the SPI (Species Sensitivity Distribution-Probabilistic Risk Assessment-Inclusion-Exclusion Principle) model indicated a 32.46 % probability of toxic effects from nutrient and metal(loid) mixtures on aquatic organisms. This study underscores the effectiveness of DGT technology in assessing bioavailable contaminants and highlights the need for targeted risk management strategies to mitigate ecological impacts in the Chishui River.
