Review of soil heavy metal pollution in China: Spatial distribution, primary sources, and remediation alternatives

Yufeng Wu et al.

Summary: With the development of economy, soil heavy metal pollution has become more severe, leading to degradation of soil resources and deterioration of ecosystems. This study focuses on the analysis of heavy metal pollution in Guangxi, Fujian, Liaoning, and Yunnan provinces in China. The results show that heavy metal concentrations increase from north to south, with the highest pollution in Northeast China and excessive levels in Central, Southwest, and South China. Mineral exploitation and industrial production are the primary causes in severely polluted provinces, while sewage irrigation and irrational fertilizer use contribute to pollution in agricultural areas. Urban development, transportation, and household refuse are also potential driving factors. Remediation methods involving physical-chemical, chemical-biological, and physical-biological technologies are widely applied, with a focus on combining phytoremediation and microbial remediation techniques for their environmental friendliness. Overall, this study provides valuable information on spatial distribution, sources, and remediation alternatives for soil heavy metal pollution, contributing to the protection of soil resources and land utilization.
