Abstract: | The levels of metal content and toxicity have been determined in bottom sediments of water bodies in Central and South Vietnam. It is found that the concentration of metals (As, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn) exceed the value of the abundance of elements in the Earth’s crust, which may be associated with geochemical features of the province. Acute toxicity of water-extracted sediment elutriate for Ceriodaphnia and whole (native) sediments for chironomid larvae is not recorded in any investigated water bodies. An increase in the relative abundance of Chironomus riparius larvae with deformations of mouthpart structures compared to the control was observed for most of the water bodies. This index reaches the value in the Khe River (Cân Th? city). Antenna anomalies prevailed in pathomorphological disorders. |
