title: [Matrix-bound phosphine (PH3) distribution characteristics in the sediments of Jiaozhou Bay, China].
abstract: The distribution of matrix-bound phosphine in sediments was investigated in some selective sea areas of Jiaozhou Bay on Sep.6, 2003. Results show that the peak concentration of phosphine reachs to 143.75 ng/kg (dry weight). Moreover, an obvious regularity of distribution is observed that phosphine concentration in coastal sediments is higher than that in offshore's, and concentration within the Bay is higher than that of outside Bay. Results also reveal that phosphine concentration in such seriously polluted areas as culture farm and estuary is significantly higher than that in other investigated places. On the other hand, the relationship between phosphine and its sedimentary environment suggest that the phosphine concentration and distribution are mainly affected by the organic phosphorous, the redox potential and the sediment composition.
