Under the combined impacts of global climate change and human activities, groundwater quality is facing severe threats. The problem of high-fluoride groundwater has emerged as a pressing environmental challenge in coastal regions.
Focusing on the Wanshan Archipelago, Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, this study investigates the distribution characteristics and enrichment mechanisms of fluoride in groundwater, and analyzes the impacts of geological conditions on hydrochemical properties.
The results show that fluoride concentrations in the groundwater of the Wanshan Archipelago vary between 0.17 and 3.22 mg/L, with 53% of the samples exceeding the fluoride standard. Significant variations in hydrochemical types exist among different islands. Excessive fluoride concentrations are mainly distributed on islands such as Dong'ao and Wailingding, predominantly detected in groundwater at depths of 100–150 m. Analysis of mineral dissolution, precipitation, and water-rock interactions indicates that fluoride enrichment is closely associated with fluorite dissolution in aquifers, cation exchange reactions, and alkaline conditions (high pH). Furthermore, seawater intrusion in some regions may also promote fluoride enrichment.
This study provides crucial data and theoretical basis for understanding the formation mechanisms of high-fluoride groundwater in island settings, and offers scientific support for the protection and management of local groundwater resources.
