| Abstract | Hong River originated in China is the biggest river in the North of Vietnam with the annual discharge of 122 km3 /year. This work was done to study the water quality of the Hong River at Ha Noi City, the Capital city of Vietnam. Investigated parameters include hydrological, physical, chemical, and microbiological. Toxic bioaccumulation in fish from the river was also determined. The results of the study show that the existing river water quality of the Hong River is in good condition, satisfying surface water quality standards. The bioaccumulation of some persistent organic toxic compounds in fish from the Hong River was analyzed by using GC-MS method. The fishes chosen for study, Cranoglanis Sinensis Petero (Nganh, in Vietnamese; Catfish, in English), were caught from the Hong River at Ha Noi City. The contents of the persistent organic toxic substances bioaccumulating in fish are lower than the detection limits. |
