Résumé

Thallium(Tl), an extremely toxic metal, is posing great hazards to water safety through anthropogenic activities (e.g., Pb-Zn smelter) and natural weathering in riverine systems. However, the relative contribution from each source remains obscure. This study investigated enrichment pattern of Tl and its isotopic compositions in sediment profiles from a recipient river, which was continuously collecting various Tl-bearing wastes discharged from a large Pb-Zn smelter in South China. Results show that high Tl content and ultra-fine particles (~ μm) of Tl-bearing mineral assemblages, probably derived from Pb-Zn smelting wastes, were ubiquitously observed in both of the depth profiles. In addition, the sediments generally yielded intermediate ε
