The concentrations and speciations of the HMs in the sediment were measured. The Ni and Cr concentrations exceeded the probable effect level (PEL), while the concentrations of the other HMs (except Hg) were between the threshold effect level and the PEL. The enrichment factor values for all HMs indicated slight enrichment. The geoaccumulation index revealed that the HMs represented light pollution, while the average contaminant factor value of the HMs indicated moderate pollution. The ecological risk factor value indicated a medium ecological risk, with Cd and Hg being associated with a high and considerable potential ecological risk, respectively. The ecological risk index indicated that the ecological risk posed by the HMs was high. The contamination degree revealed a moderate level of metal pollution, while the pollution load index indicated a heavy pollution level. The extractable proportion of the HMs (except for Cr and As) exceeded 50%. In the case of Cd, the exchangeable proportion was 51.11%, which indicated it to be extremely unstable.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Practitioner Points<\/jats:title><jats:p>\n<jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Heavy metals (except for Cr and As) have a high potential ecological risk.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>All selected heavy metals implying varying degrees of instability.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Cd was the most serious pollutant based on the Igeo, Cf and EF analyses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<\/jats:list><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/wer.1638","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,6]],"date-time":"2021-09-06T06:01:28Z","timestamp":1630908088000},"page":"2795-2806","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Risk assessment concerning the heavy metals in sediment around Taihu Lake, China"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"93","author":[{"given":"Hou\u2010Qi","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National and Local Joint Engineering Laboratory for Municipal Sewage Resource Utilization Technology Suzhou University of Science and Technology  Suzhou Jiangsu China"},{"name":"Suzhou Institute for Advanced Study University of Science and Technology of China  Suzhou Jiangsu China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2142-035X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiyang College Zhejiang A&amp;F University  Zhuji China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zi\u2010Jiao","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Provincial Engineering Laboratory of Water and Soil Pollution Control and Remediation, School of Ecology and Environment Anhui Normal University  Wuhu Anhui China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cong","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Suzhou Institute for Advanced Study University of Science and Technology of China  Suzhou Jiangsu China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhazmat.2009.08.085"},{"volume-title":"Coastal GIS 2003","year":"2003","author":"Birth G.","key":"e_1_2_8_3_1"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","unstructured":"Buchman M.(2008).Screening Quick Reference Tables (SQuiRTs) NOAA OR & R Report 08\u20101.
