Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: (i) sampling locations should cover the entire lake ; (ii) locations at close proximity of the major drainage discharge points of the lake should be covered ; (iii) locations representative of the average conditions in the lake [...] should be covered
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Water and sediment samples of Dhanmondi Lake were collected from seven sampling locations in order to determine spatial variation of lead concentration.
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of measurement:
- EDTA titrimetric method ; Spectrophotometry ; Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry ; Modelisation
Test material

Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
Average aqueous lead concentrations varied from 151 to 210 µg/L during dry season, and from 30 to 120 µg/L during the wet season while the average lead concentration in the bottom sediment varied from 10.7 to 44.7 mg/Kg dry weight.
Aqueous lead concentration decreased significantly from the dry to the wet season, by almost by a factor or two, primarly due to the dilution effect resulting from increased rainfall and surface runoff. The concentration of lead in the bottom sediment varied significantly among sampling locations, with locations close to inlet points showing higher levels of lead.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The average lead concentration in Dhanmondi Lake water exceeds the limiting values set for drinking, fishing, livestock, industrial and irrigation use in the environmental quality standards for Bangladesh.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
