The concentrations, sources, and ecological risks of nine trace elements in nine rivers flowing into Laizhou Bay were investigated. The dissolved element concentrations were 1.85–74.4, 0.01–0.47, 0.15–3.46, 1.54–19.7, 2.92–45.1, 1.72–11.5, 1.02–8.35, 0.10–1.02, and 21.4–185 μg/L for As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Sc, Pb, and Zn, respectively. Zinc was the most abundant element in the sediments, with an average concentration of 106 mg/kg, followed by Cr (64.5 mg/kg), Cu (25.5 mg/kg), Pb (24.3 mg/kg), Ni (23.4 mg/kg), Co (10.9 mg/kg), Sc (8.14 mg/kg), As (6.75 mg/kg), and Cd (0.16 mg/kg). Elements including Co, Cr, Ni, and Sc were mainly from natural sources and As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn were largely influenced by anthropogenic activities such as agricultural practice, industrial production, river transportation, and urbanization. Overall, the rivers flowing into Laizhou Bay experienced slight pollution and ecological risk. However, the severe element contamination in Jie River deserves continuous attention.
