Abstract
In order to evaluate the load of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Zn) imposed on the River Leine by the city of Göttingen (medium-sized town) the content of heavy metals in fish samples (which had been collected at two points on the River Leine, upstream, respectively downstream of Göttingen — Fig. 1) were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. Analysis of heavy metals in brook trout (total fish, flesh, and liver) showed a statistically significant definite increase in some heavy metals, caused by the sewage from the city of Göttingen. In the flesh only Cd in the liver Cd, Hg and Zn and in the total fish Cd, Cu and Zn had been increased significantly. All the values of heavy metals in the flesh were lower than the suggested maximum allowable concentrations. Um das Ausmaß der Belastung der Leine mit Schwermetallen (Cd, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Zn) durch die Abwässer der Stadt Göttingen zu erforschen, wurden die Schwermetallgehalte in Bachforellen, die der Leine an zwei Probenahmestellen, oberhalb bzw. unterhalb Göttingen (Abb. 1) entnommen worden waren, mit Hilfe des Atom-Absorptions-Spektrometer ermittelt. Die durchgeführten Schwermetalluntersuchungen (im Gesamtfisch, Muskulatur und Leber) ergaben im Vergleich der obengenannten Fangorte eine statistisch gesicherte Zunahme einiger Schwermetalle durch die in diesem urbanisierten Raum anfallenden Abwässer. In der Fischmuskulatur waren nur Cd, in der Leber Cd, Hg, Zn und im Gesamtfisch Cd, Cu, Zn signifikant erhöht. Sämtliche Schwermetallwerte der Fischmuskulatur lagen unterhalb der in der Literatur vorgeschlagenen, als zulässig zu betrachtenden Höchstwerte.Keywords
