A cellular automata-based approach for spatio-temporal modeling of the city center as a complex system: The case of Kastamonu, Turkiye

Oznur Isinkaralar et al.

Summary: Cities, as the intersection of global interactions, require analytical modeling of space to understand their organizational structure. The cellular automata-Markov chain (CA-MC) modeling is widely used in predicting land use change in complex systems. This study examines the land use change in Kastamonu city center from 1985 to 2021, aiming to develop a quantitative model for measuring temporal complexity variation. The model's agreement was tested and found to be >0.9438 based on Kappa statistical values.

Soil contamination and health risk assessment from heavy metals exposure near mining area in Bac Kan province, Vietnam

Thanh Son Tran et al.

Summary: Mining activities in Vietnam have led to potential heavy metals contamination in the surrounding areas, with As and Pb concentrations exceeding the Vietnam standard for residential soil. Pollution indices indicate that Pb and As are the major contaminants near the Pb-Zn and Au mines. Statistical analysis suggests that the pollution sources near the Pb-Zn mine are a combination of anthropogenic and geogenic sources, while health risk assessment shows children are at higher risk than adults in both non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risk.

Heavy metal concentrations and health risk assessment in urban soils of Neyshabur, Iran

Saeid Soleymani et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine and analyze heavy metal pollution in the street dust of Neyshabur city in Iran. The concentrations of ten heavy metals were measured in 60 street dust samples collected from high traffic, low traffic, and rural areas. The average concentrations of the target heavy metals in the samples were within the allowed limits, indicating a lower non-carcinogenic risk. However, there were high carcinogenic risks associated with exposure to certain heavy metals, especially for children. Efforts should be made to prevent the transmission of heavy metals in the environmental soil of Neyshabur city.

Comparative Study of PM10 Concentrations and Their Elemental Composition Using Two Different Techniques during Winter-Spring Field Observation in Polish Village

Tomasz Mach et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the concentrations and elemental composition of PM10 in a village in Poland, analyze their seasonal variability, determine the sources of pollution emissions, and compare the results obtained using different methods. The results showed that Ca, K, and Fe had the highest shares in the PM10 mass. Soil erosion, coal and biomass burning, and fuel combustion in car engines were identified as the main sources of pollutants.

Summary: Air pollution in industrial areas has become an increasingly significant problem since the 1990s. Tree bark and annual rings have been used as convenient biomonitors for assessing the speciation and transition of pollutants in trees. In this study, Robinia pseudoacacia was found to be the better choice for evaluating atmospheric metal pollution in the Izmit region over the past 30 years.

Biomonitoring of heavy metal contamination with roadside trees from metropolitan area of Hefei, China

Ting Fang et al.

Summary: Air and dust borne heavy metals can be deposited and bioaccumulated by plants in urban environments, making biomonitoring employing plants an effective tool for environmental impact assessment. This study analyzed heavy metal accumulation in leaves and bark of four tree species in Hefei, China, revealing significant differences in bioaccumulation capacities among different species, with Platanus orientalis accumulating more nonessential As and Cinnamomum camphora accumulating more heavy metals due to their distinct characteristics. The distribution patterns of heavy metals in tree tissues showed spatial heterogeneity influenced by anthropogenic activities, providing important baseline data for urban environmental impact assessment.
