Outline of Final Research Achievements

Selenge River is the largest tributary in all of rivers flowing into the Lake Baikal. Watersheds of the tributary are strongly affected by large scale reclamation of the land for mining and agriculture.However, there is no report about fatal pollutions in the lake Baikal, indicating that natural cleaning systems should be addressed for removal of pollutants. In this study, suspended solids (SS) are mainly focused as a carrier of pollutants to elucidate the mechanism of SS removal in the river system. As a result, some heavy metals attached onto SS increase their concentration in the downstream of a mining area, indicating contamination process due to drainage from mining. Sedimentation of SS particles was observed in the downstream of a confluence point with a tributary. At the Selenge delta, the river flow spread into many small tributaries, resulting that decrease in flow rate leaded sedimentation of SS particles accompanied by accumulation of heavy metals in the bottom sediment.
