Speciation, contamination, ecological and human health risks assessment of heavy metals in soils dumped with municipal solid wastes

Nihal Gujre et al.

Summary: The study aimed to assess soil contamination, ecological and health risks associated with municipal solid waste disposal near a Ramsar site in Assam, India. Heavy metals including chromium, manganese, and zinc were analyzed, with chromium showing higher contamination levels. Speciation analysis revealed different associations with soil fractions for each metal, with chromium posing higher health risks through ingestion.

Health risk assessment of heavy metals exposure via consumption of crops grown in phosphogypsum-contaminated soils

Imen Ben Chabchoubi et al.

Summary: Management of phosphogypsum heap in Tunisia has posed environmental problems due to the challenge of dumping solid waste, even though it is used as an amendment to agricultural soils. Research shows that increasing the rate of PG amendment leads to higher bioconcentration factors of heavy metals in plants, especially in roots. Therefore, the rate of PG amendment should not exceed 10% to reduce health risks associated with exposure to heavy metals.

Pollutant source, ecological and human health risks assessment of heavy metals in soils from coal mining areas in Xinjiang, China

Haiwei Zhang et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the pollution characteristics and sources of heavy metal elements in the Zhundong mining area in Xinjiang for the first time, as well as evaluating the health risks and influencing factors using Monte Carlo simulation. Results showed that coal combustion, transportation, and atmospheric dust were significant sources of heavy metal pollution in the area. The research contributes to better soil management, remediation, and pollution control in Xinjiang's mining areas.

Analysis of microbial community structure and diversity in surrounding rock soil of different waste dump sites in fushun western opencast mine

Binhui Jiang et al.

Summary: Understanding the correlation between the physicochemical properties of different surrounding rock soil and microbial communities in Fushun western opencast mining is crucial for ecological restoration after mine closure. This study collected soil samples from different areas and explored the effects of soil physicochemical properties on microbial communities. The results showed significant differences in microbial communities influenced by different surrounding rock soils, providing scientific insights for coal mining and microbial-mediated rock mineralization.
