Cadmium release from afforested peatlands and accumulation in an aquatic ecosystem after experimental wood ash treatment

Abstract Wood ash produced as a by-product in paper mills and heating power plants contains many toxic heavy metals, including high cadmium (Cd) concentrations. The addition of wood ash on drained and forested peatlands to improve forest growth and nutrient balance is common practice in Finland but creates a risk of increasing Cd concentration in the soil and Cd release into recipient waters. Leaching of Cd from ash-treated peat was studied in a mesocosm experiment with three different ash doses (300, 600 and 1,200 g ash m−2), which have been commonly applied for fertilization in boreal forests and forested peatlands. Ash contained 5.4 mg Cd kg−1, which corresponds doses of 1.6, 3.2 and 6.5 mg Cd m−2. The mesocosm studies showed that all ash treatments clearly lowered pH (from 3.6 to 3.4–3.3) and dissolved organic carbon concentrations (from 97 to ca. 50 mg C l−1) in the run-off water during an 11-week experiment. However, only the application of the highest dose, 1,200 g ash m−2, increased the Cd concentrations in the run-off water from the initial concentration of 1.25–1.75 μg Cd l−1. The treatment of peat with 300 or 600 g ash m−2 did not increase Cd leaching as compared to the untreated peat. We measured high pH values (between 6.1 and 7.0) and high Cd concentrations only in the upper layers of ash-treated peat, which clearly indicated that most of Cd was tightly retained in the surface peat. The effects of Cd on the aquatic ecosystem were studied in microcosms where run-off water from mesocosms was added into aquariums containing humic lake water, lake sediment, bryophytes and benthic animals. The microcosm experiment showed that only the run-off water received from the highest ash treatment increased the Cd concentration of microcosm water. Greater Cd concentrations were found in benthic animals, Asellus aquaticus isopod, in treatments with the highest ash doses, but accumulation of Cd was not observed in the bottom material or in the bryophytes (Fontinalis antipyretica). According to the results, the risk of Cd release from peat after ash application is of minor short-term importance when low ash doses (between 300 and 600 g ash m−2) are used. Ash addition, however, temporally increased the acidity of discharge water, which may contribute to the mobilization of Cd from the peat and enhance the risk of bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms especially in acid waters.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
