Spatial assessment models to evaluate human health risk associated to soil potentially toxic elements

Xuefei Sun et al.

Summary: By using positive matrix factorization, health risk assessment, and sequential Gaussian simulation, the study investigated the source apportionment of potentially toxic elements in soils and associated human health risk. The results showed that natural and agricultural sources had the greatest influence on non-carcinogenic risks, while industrial and traffic emissions also contributed to some PTEs. 1.1% of the total area was identified as hazardous areas with non-carcinogenic risks for children.

Human health and ecological risk assessment of trace elements in urban soils of 101 cities in China: A meta-analysis

Vaclav Pecina et al.

Summary: The study assessed urban soil pollution by trace elements in China and found that 11% of cities are heavily polluted. Some cities exceed the standardly accepted tolerable levels of risk, with urban green spaces being threatened. It is recommended to alter the policy of urbanization and develop green infrastructures adapted to high contamination levels.

Vertical Distribution of Mercury in Forest Soils and Its Transfer to Edible Mushrooms in Relation to Tree Species

Vaclav Pecina et al.

Summary: Soil pollution by mercury is a global issue that poses risks to ecosystems and human health. The study found that mercury content was highest in the F+H layer of mature Norway spruce forests, with significantly higher levels in spruce compared to beech dominated stands. This suggests that species-related soil chemistry and mineral associations play a key role in the distribution and accumulation of mercury in forest soils.
