Heavy metal pollution in Lake Poyang tributaries poses severe ecological risk.

Ecological Assessment

In 2004, a study was conducted on the sediment of Baiyangdian Lake. The researchers looked at 21 different sites and tested for heavy metals like copper, zinc, cadmium, and lead, as well as other pollutants. They found that the sediment was highly polluted by cadmium and lead, with the most serious pollution in certain areas like the Anxin bridge and South Liu village. Overall, the sediment was classified as strongly polluted, with a synthetic pollution index of 3.583.
