Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
Research was made on the spatial distributions of heavy metals (Cu, Ni, Cr, Zn, Cd and Pb) in the sediments from a northern city of China. Based on the experimental data and the average enrichment factor (AEF) in the study area were evaluated by the potential ecological average enriched factor. The results showed that (1) Cd, Cu and Zn were the main risk factors and Ni, Cr belong to the mild pollution.(2) Different heavy metals have great differences in different layers of the sediment. (3) The third sampling point is the main heavy metals discharge side and the main pollution area.
