The total content and chemical speciation of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn in seven short cores sampled from the Yitong River from Changchun City were analyzed to assess the pollution levels and potential ecological risks of heavy metals in the sediments. The results demonstrated that the total contents of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn in sediments were 0.10-1.18, 23.57-66.35, 11.27-43.95, 10.78-29.82, 15.02-60.81, and 54.27-175.83 mg·kg, respectively. The acid-soluble fraction of Cd varied from 42.1% to 51.28%, whereas Cr, Ni, and Zn were mainly found in the residual fraction; their mass fractions were 63.54%-79.91%, 35.16%-53.75%, and 27.55%-57.55%, respectively. The vertical results of pollution degree and ecological risk assessment indicated that the studied sediment was polluted by Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn, and the ecological risk of Cd was the highest, followed by Zn and Cu. Each group of metals in each core showed a similar vertical variation, and the ecological risk of metals in sediment of 4-8 cm depth was relatively high. Cd, Zn, and Pb in the sediments of Yitong River were mainly from industrial pollution and municipal sewage discharge, and Cu could be attributed to both natural processes and human activities, whereas Cr and Ni may be attributed to natural processes.

Mercury (Hg), as a global pollutant, is persistent, migratory, insidious, highly biotoxic and highly enriched, and is widely distributed in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and lithosphere. Wetland ecosystems, as active mercury reservoirs, have become the most important sources and sinks of heavy metal mercury. Distinguished from natural wetlands, artificial wetlands located in urban sections of rivers face problems such as diverse urban pollution sources and complex spatial and temporal changes.

Phthalates (PAEs) are a typical class of endocrine disruptors (EEDs). As one of the most commonly used plasticizers, they have received widespread attention due to their wide application in various countries and high detection rates in various environmental media. To be able to clarify the contamination status of PAEs pollutants in a typical northern cold-temperate urban river, 30 water samples from Yitong River in Changchun City, northern China were collected, during the 2023 dry season (March), normal season (May) and wet season (July).

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and substituted PAHs (SPAHs) are persistent organic pollutants prevalent globally, and SPAHs have received widespread attention in recent years due to their stronger toxicity and carcinogenicity compared to PAHs. There is a lack of systematic examination of PAHs and their derivatives in watersheds. Thus, to clarify the current status, possible sources, and potential risks of PAHs and their derivatives in watersheds, a study was conducted on Yitong River in China.
