Zinc stable isotopes (δ66Zn) of dated sediment cores have become popular tracers for Zn contamination throughout the time. Yet, the δ66Zn of bulk sediments represents a complex mixture of Zn adsorbed on environmental surfaces, e.g., oxyhydroxides and carbonates, Zn as part of organic matter or Zn in lattice structures of minerals. Here, we have analyzed the Zn stable isotopes of metal fractions obtained by the optimised BCR sequential extraction procedure in sediment cores from historically metal polluted Lake Biwa, Osaka Bay and Tokyo Bay. We found the anthropogenic Zn was primarily hosted in the acid-labile (carbonates) and reducible (Fe-Mn oxyhydroxides) fractions. We expect to find the highest δ66Zn values in the acid-labile fraction in agreement with the preferential adsorption and incorporation of 66Zn in carbonates. The δ66Zn values in the residual fraction (silicates) should agree with those found for the bulk silicate Earth. We expect to find the lowest δ66Zn values in the reducible fraction as sinking Mn oxyhydroxides formed in the water column scavenge dissolved Zn released from anthropogenic sources with no or little isotopic fractionation. Thus, we conclude that δ66Zn of the reducible fraction should represent a better indicator of the δ66Zn of the anthropogenic Zn compared to the bulk sediment.
