Abstract  

The concentration of pore water uranium in six sediments from oligotrophic, mesotrophic, acidotrophic and dystrophic lakes was measured by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Profiles of pore water U can be divided into two groups such as low (17±7 ng/l) and high concentration (69±30 ng/l). These values were 1–2 orders of magnitude higher than that of lake waters (6±4 ng/l) due to the release of U from the sediments by decomposition of organic materials. Variations in pore water U concentrations seem to relate to the differences in pore water pH, the association forms, and their contents of U in the lake sediments.
