摘要: The Yangtze River Basin, one of China's five major watersheds and a primary source of drinking water for the country, is experiencing serious environmental pollution as heavy metals are discharged into its rivers. To evaluate the water quality of the river, determined water quality parameters were compared with the maximum permissible limit values recommended by the World Health Organization and Chinese drinking water standards. Physical and chemical analyses were conducted on water samples taken from 19 locations along the river's path. The study quantified the contents of sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), lithium (Li), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), scandium (Sc) and mercury (Hg). The results show that the average values of Mg, Sr, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn and Sc are higher than the historical background values. Moreover, through a correlation analysis it was concluded that these nutrients and trace metals have high values due to anthropogenic pollution in the study area. The computed WQI values range between 9.59 and 20.26, indicating excellent water quality in the river basin. Finally, hazard quotient (HQ) values show that exposure to the detected pollutants will have no adverse effects on human health and does not pose a potential non-carcinogenic risk.
