以温州市牛桥底河为研究对象，对河道疏浚前、中、后底泥中理化指标、重金属含量进行跟踪分析，并应用地累积指数法和潜在生态风险指数法对重金属元素Cd、Cr、Cu、Zn、Mn、Ni、Pb、Hg、As进行污染评价. 结果表明，牛桥底河底泥疏浚工程实施后，表层底泥的TP、TOC和重金属含量呈现“先降低、后升高”的变化趋势，疏浚后1到3个月内底泥重金属含量最低. 虽然疏浚工程可以暂时地显著削减河道中污染物的总量，但其对河道水质和底泥的改善效果仅能维持3～9个月. 两种评价方法均表明疏浚工程的实施在一定程度上减轻了牛桥底河底泥的污染水平和生态风险. 

The physicochemical factors and heavy metals in sediment before, during and after dredging of Niuqiaodi River in Wenzhou were investigated. The result showed that after the sediment dredging of Niuqiaodi River, the contents of TP, TOC and heavy metal in sediment were firstly decreased and then increased. The heavy metal contents in sediment reached the lowest level in one to three months after dredging. The contents of the pollutants in the river were significantly reduced after sediment dredging, but the improvement of water quality and sediment only lasts three to nine months. The evaluation results of the geoaccumulation index (I_geo) and the potential ecological risk evaluation indicated the sediments of Niuqiaodi River were seriously polluted by heavy metals and the sediment dredging contributed to reduction of pollution levels of heavy metals in sediment.
