This paper analyzed the content, distribution and source of Cu in Jiaozhou Bay in 1982. Results showed that the Cu contents in surface waters were relatively low, and the pollution level of Cu in 1982 was very slight. The major Cu source in the southwest of the bay was overland runoff; while for the northeast ocean current was responsible. The input contents of overland runoff and ocean current ranged from 2.22-3.56 μg.L-1 and 0.15-5.31μg.L-1, respectively.

This paper analyzed the seasonal and vertical variations of cyanide in Jiaozhou Bay, and tried to reveal the transfer processes based on investigation data in different seasons in 1982. Results showed that cyanide contents in surface waters were showing obvious seasonal variations, and were in orders of spring < summer < autumn, due to the inputs of cyanide were mainly occurred in wet season. The vertical variations seem to be not regular, and the influences of cyanide contents in surface waters to bottom waters were not significant, because the degradation of cyanide were rapid in summer and early autumn, leading to most of the cyanide was degraded before or in the process of sedimentation.

This paper analyzed the content, distribution and source of Zn in Jiaozhou Bay in 1982. Results showed that the Zn contents in surface waters in April, June, July and October ranged from 1.75-167.71 μg.L-1, 8.31-36.97 μg.L-1, 7.05-12.18 μg.L-1 and 1.75-5.25 μg.L-1, respectively. Cu contents in most of the monitoring sites in April were meeting Grade III or Grade IV in National Sea Water Quality Standard (GB 3097-1997). While most of the monitoring sites in June, July and October were meeting Grade I or Grade II. The major Zn sources in the bay was overland runoff, ocean current, and deposition, whose input contents ranged from 37.90-167.71 μg.L-1, 1.31-36.97μg.L-1 and 1.75-12.18 μg.L-1.

Based on the investigation data of mercury (Hg) in both surface and bottom waters in Jiaozhou bay in 1979 to 1981, this paper tried to analysis the vertical variations of Hg contents, and to reveal the transfer processes of Hg in the bay. Results showed that, Hg pollution in the bay is mainly discharged from the major rivers, the seasonal variations of Hg content in surface waters showed a similar trend in different years, with an order of spring (or summer) > autumn. The Hg contents in bottom waters were mainly determined by the sedimentation of Hg from surface waters. There were major three transfer processes of Hg as, 1) Hg from various pollution sources was transported to streams by rainfall, 2) Hg in streamflows was discharged to surface waters of the bay, and 3) Hg in surface waters was sedimented to the bottom of the bay.

Based on the investigation data of mercury (Hg) in waters in Jiaozhou bay during time peroids of 1979 to 1985 (absent of 1984), this paper tried to analysis the seasonal variations of Hg in Jiaozhou Bay, to reveal the transfer process of Hg, and to provide basis for decision-making of pollution control. Results showed that, there was indistint seasonal variations of Hg content, due to anthropogenic discharge was the major source of Hg, which was not static, but depended on industrial adjustment. The land transfer process of Hg could be divided into three major processes: 1) human discharges of Hg to soil, waters, and atmosphere, etc., 2) Hg is washouted and delivered into streams, and 3) Hg is transferred to ocean via river channel runoff. In order to reconcile economic growth with environmental protection, we should have to improve the use ratio of Hg, and to reduce the discharge load of Hg.

Based on the investigation data of Hg in Jiaozhou Bay waters in April, July and October 1986, this paper tried to analysis the horizontal, vertical and seasonal distributions of Hg in Jiaozhou Bay, and to reveal the pollution sources and transfer processes of Hg. Results showed that Jiaozhou Bay had been heavily polluted by Hg, whatever in different seasons. Hg in Jiaozhou Bay was mainly from point sources such as industrial waste and sewage runoff. The horizonal and vertical distributions of Hg content showed the transfer processes as, from estuaries to their outside and the bay mouth, and form surface waters to bottom waters, respectively. The water environmental capacity of Hg in Jiaozhou Bay had been unable to carry the emission load of Hg, and therefore the reduction of emission as well as the improvement of cyclic utilization ratio were the primary processes for Hg pollution prevention and reduction.

Based on investigation data in Jiaozhou bay waters from 1979 to 1985(absent of 1984), this paper tried to anylysis the horizontal distributions and pollution sources and characteristics of Hg in Jiaozhou Bay. The results showed that, the horizonal distributions of Hg in surface water of Jiaozhou Bay showed decreasing trends from river flow direct, and the major pollution source of Hg was point source, whose pollutants were transferred by stream discharge. Under the influences of point source pollution, the Hg concentrations in surface waters could range from 0.46-13.04 μg.L-1; while under the influences of ocean current itself, the concentration of Hg in bay mouth area could range from 0.46-13.04 μg.L-1. The pollution sources of Hg in Jiaozhou Bay could be catagoried as two levels as high-pollution sources and non-pollution sources, due to Hg in this bay was mainly impacted by point source. It is necessary to enhance the recovery ratio of Hg, and to reduce the discharge of Hg.

Biotransformation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) may be affected by many factors such as biostimulation and bioaugmentation whether beneficial or not. Served as natural healthy medical stone, feed additive and also filters for their adsorption capability in water purification function, was used widely in China. In this paper, PCB 118 was selected as typical polychlorinated biphenyl to study maifanite additive influence on the degradating efficiency of marine fungi for POPs. The results of controlled trials by two penicillium fungus showed thatthe degradation rates of PCB 118 were higher with maifanite as promoting additive than mediums without maifanite. Significant differences were found in further analysis of zeta potential of maifanite in solutions from pH 2 to pH 9 suggesting different adsorption capability of maifanite at different pH levels.

Being a close bay, vertical settling was the dominant transfer process of Hg Jiaozhou Bay. Based on the investigation data of mercury (Hg) in bottom waters in Jiaozhou bay in 1979 to 1985 (in absence of 1984), this paper tried to analysis both of the settling processes and settling mechanisms of Hg. Results showed that that Hg in Jiaozhou Bay was settling continually over year, therefore a continued accumulation of Hg contents in bottom waters appeared, especially in spring and summer. Sediments in sea bottom could be both of source and sink of pollutants, especially for persistence pollutants such as Hg. Based on the both of the settling processes and settling mechanisms, the improve of recycle rate and the emission reduction of Hg should be the major pollution control strategies in Jiaozhou Bay.
