Potential driving forces and probabilistic health risks of heavy metal accumulation in the soils from an e-waste area, southeast China

Hanrui Chen et al.

Summary: The integrated analysis of heavy metal distribution characteristics, health risks, and source identification in the area around an abandoned electronic waste dismantling center in China revealed that cadmium and copper were the primary soil pollutants causing high ecological risks. The probabilistic health risk assessment indicated acceptable levels for non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks, but children were more susceptible to heavy metal soil contamination than adults. The sensitivity analyses showed that total contents of soil heavy metals and soil ingestion rate were the dominant factors affecting human health.

Source apportionment and health risk due to PM10 and TSP at the surface workings of an underground coal mine in the arid desert region of northwestern China

Yun Liu et al.

Summary: The study focused on an underground coal mine in Lingwu, Ningxia, analyzing particulate matter in different seasons and at different times of day. The results identified anthropogenic emissions as the main source of particulate metals, with regional dust, traffic, industry, and coal burning contributing to PM concentrations. Air mass dispersion analysis showed PM spreading to different regions depending on the season, emphasizing the need for monitoring and early warning systems. Furthermore, the study suggested strengthening protection measures for children around the mining area and monitoring of specific metal concentrations in PM.

An integrated approach to quantify ecological and human health risks of soil heavy metal contamination around coal mining area

Teklit Zerizghi et al.

Summary: Soil heavy metals pose risks to ecological biodiversity and human health. This study quantified the risks of soil heavy metals on ecological communities and human health around Greenside coal mining in South Africa using network environ analysis. The results showed that the assessed heavy metals exceeded local background content and posed risks to vegetation and soil microorganisms. The risks entered the food web and harmed the whole system. Children faced severe non-cancer effects, and some pollution sources exceeded acceptable limits.

Typical sources of Cd to paddy fields in different contaminated areas and their impacts on Cd accumulation in topsoil and rice in Changzhutan, China

Fan Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the sources of Cd and their effects on Cd accumulation in soil and rice on urban farmland in China. The results showed that atmospheric deposition was a major source of Cd, leading to higher accumulation of Cd in soil and rice, and the use of manure fertilizer also contributed to Cd accumulation in soil. Additionally, acid-extractable Cd accounted for a significant proportion of total Cd in atmospherically deposited particles, resulting in high bioavailability and accumulation of Cd in the study area.
