Pollution assessment, source identification, and health risks of heavy metals: a case study in a typical wheat-maize rotation area of eastern China

Fang Wan et al.

Summary: The research indicates that in the winter-wheat-summer-maize rotations conducted in eastern China, the heavy metal content in the soil is higher than the natural soil background values in China but lower than the national guidelines, posing no immediate health risks to humans.

Plasma Hsp90 levels in patients with systemic sclerosis and relation to lung and skin involvement: a cross-sectional and longitudinal study

Hana Storkanova et al.

Summary: According to the study, plasma levels of Hsp90 are increased in patients with systemic sclerosis compared to healthy controls, and are associated with increased inflammatory activity, worsened lung function, and extent of skin involvement in patients with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis. In patients with systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease treated with cyclophosphamide, baseline Hsp90 levels can predict changes in DLCO over 12 months of therapy.

Heavy metal contamination risk assessment and correlation analysis of heavy metal contents in soil and crops*

Mingtao Xiang et al.

Summary: The study assessed the differences in heavy metal contamination risks between soil and crops in Ningbo, China, and found that heavy metals in soil had varying influences on heavy metals in crops. The interaction of heavy metals plays an important role in pollution risk control, which has been largely ignored in previous studies.

Distribution and secondary enrichment of heavy metal elements in karstic soils with high geochemical background in Guangxi, China

Qiong Yang et al.

Summary: The spatial distribution of heavy metal concentrations in soils was mainly controlled by the geological background. Heavy metal concentrations were lower in carbonate rocks compared to clastic rocks, but soils derived from carbonate rocks were more enriched with heavy metals. The enrichment of heavy metals in soils was primarily due to secondary enrichment processes.

Quantitative source apportionment, risk assessment and distribution of heavy metals in agricultural soils from southern Shandong Peninsula of China

Haiwei Liu et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the levels of heavy metals in soil samples from a tobacco growing region in Shandong Peninsula, China, and identified Cd and Hg accumulations as posing ecological risks, while Cr and Ni levels presented a carcinogenic health risk to humans. The sources of heavy metals in the soils were mainly attributed to natural sources, coal combustion, agricultural practices, and industrial activities.

Quantitative source apportionment of heavy metals in cultivated soil and associated model uncertainty

Lei Chai et al.

Summary: This study investigated the spatial distribution, source analysis, and uncertainties of eight heavy metals in cultivated soils in Lanzhou using GIS, PMF, and BS. Some heavy metals exceeded local background values in agricultural soils, with sources identified as natural, industrial, agricultural, and traffic-related activities. Analysis showed lower deviations for certain heavy metals, indicating potential for reduced pollution in cultivated soils and serving as a reference for pollution source allocation in other regions.

Heavy Metals Occurrence, Seasonal Variation and Enrichment in Urban Soils Augmented with Industrial Waste

Muhammad Zubair et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the concentrations of selected metals in industrial waste sediments and soils in Gujranwala city across different seasons, revealing seasonal variations and geochemical enrichment. Aluminum was found to accumulate strongly in soil, causing contamination. Iron and aluminum were identified as the elements with the highest concentrations in soil, indicating significant impact.

Comprehensive assessment of heavy metal risk in soil-crop systems along the Yangtze River in Nanjing, Southeast China

Mengxue Wan et al.

Summary: This study aimed to comprehensively assess the environmental quality of agricultural soils and the safety of agricultural products. It found that some soil-crop systems were at risk of contamination by heavy metals (HMs), with paddy soils having the highest potential risk followed by maize soils. Integration of soil environmental quality and agricultural product safety provides a novel and reliable approach to evaluate the potential risk of HMs in arable land.

Toxic and heavy metals contamination assessment in soil and water to evaluate human health risk

Waqar Ahmad et al.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the composition of toxic and heavy metals in soil and water, showing that the concentrations did not exceed the limits set by international standards. Children had higher metal intake doses than adults in soil, and HI values for Cr and Pb were significantly higher in children compared to adults.

Bioaccumulation and risk assessment of heavy metals in soil-crop systems in Liujiang karst area, Southwestern China

Molan Tang et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the bioaccumulation and health risk of heavy metals in soil-crop systems in Liujiang karst regions. The results showed higher levels of Cu, Cr, Cd, As, and Zn in rice soils compared to sugarcane soils, with Cd and Cr being the main pollutants in sugarcane soils. Both crops tended to take up Cd more effectively, with rice grains exhibiting a higher accumulation capacity of heavy metals in the edible part than sugarcane. Due to As and Cd exposure through rice consumption, non-carcinogenic risks are likely to occur in Liujiang residents.
