Abstract

The study of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and concentration distribution of multielements including toxic elements in river–wetland ecosystem at different locations of Satluj River and Harike Wetland were carried out to understand the mobilization behavior of elements including toxic elements. The concentrations of multi-elements in water and sediments were determined using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) utilizing reactor neutrons, respectively. The concentration values are found to be within permissible limit set by WHO and BIS. The concentration factors of selected common elements namely Cr, Mn, Fe, Zn and As were evaluated utilizing their corresponding concentrations in water and sediment samples.
