Geospatial Analysis, Source Apportionment, and Ecological–Health Risks Assessment of Topsoil Heavy Metal(loid)s in a Typical Agricultural Area

Agriculture, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(9), С. 913 - 913

Опубликована: Апрель 22, 2025

Soil environmental protection has become a pressing issue for sustainable development. This study collected 153 topsoil samples from typical agricultural area to evaluate the contamination characteristics of heavy metal(loid)s (HMs), identify their potential sources, and assess associated ecological human health risks. The results showed that mean concentration HMs was in order Zn > Cr Ni Pb Cu As Cd Hg; all were below background levels, except Cd. geo-accumulation index (Igeo) improved Nemerow (INI) revealed overall pollution level considered as no or slight contamination, while posed low risk according hazard factor (Ei) (PERI). In addition, three main sources identified through positive matrix factorization (PMF) model: natural source (48.2%; contributed As, Ni, Cu, Pb, Zn), coal burning waste disposal (24%; Hg Cd), activities (27.8%; Cr). (HHR) assessment model Monte Carlo simulation applied risks, suggested children faced higher risks than adults, with 45.83% exceeding non-carcinogenic acceptable limit. contributors carcinogenic respectively. findings local management development agriculture.

Risk Assessment and Spatial Distribution of Heavy Metals with an Emphasis on Antimony (Sb) in Urban Soil in Bojnourd, Iran

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 15(4), С. 3495 - 3495

Опубликована: Фев. 14, 2023

Recently, one of the major environmental issues is pollution soil with Antimony (Sb), which ecologically detrimental and potentially carcinogenic to humans. In developing countries such as Iran, Sb concentrations in soils have not yet been accurately determined. Therefore, purpose this study was examine levels other HMs (Pb, Cd, As, Ni, Hg Cr) surface Bojnourd, well their distribution potential risks environment human health. A total 37 samples (0–20 cm) were taken from different sampling stations: 900 × m regular grid for traffic areas (TA), residential (RA) suburb (SA). The contamination factor (CF) geo-accumulation index (Igeo) are two indices that used reflect ecological risk HMs. Geographic information system (GIS), Spearman correlation matrix health indexes utilized investigate source hazard results showed average concentration TA highly enriched compared areas. Most identified low Ni pollution, while having moderate high Pb, Cr, Cd determined by (Igeo CF). Geostatistical analysis GIS mapping spatial HM there similar patterns hot spots southeast, west center city. Neither quotient (HQ) nor (HI) examined indicated any non-carcinogenic adults or children. However, assessment revealed cancer raised Cr contents children, these elements an acceptable adults. Furthermore, children’s values greater than adults’, indicating more hazards associated assessing posed urban vital urgent detailed investigation also required identify recognized Sb. proper corresponding humans a area can be critical appropriate remediation method.

Assessment of the Levels of Potentially Toxic Elements Contained in Natural Bentonites Collected from Quarries in Turkey

ACS Omega, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 8(23), С. 20979 - 20986

Опубликована: Май 30, 2023

Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) are an important type of pollutant, causing constant and far-reaching concerns around the world due to their increase in mining process. Bentonite formed by alteration glass-rich volcanic rocks is a smectite clay consisting mostly montmorillonite. mineral used wide range applications many fields such as oil gas, agriculture, food, pharmacological, cosmetic, construction industries its unique qualities. Given widespread distribution bentonite nature use variety consumer products, it inevitable that general population will be exposed PTEs contained bentonites. In this study, concentrations 69 samples collected from quarries located different geographical regions Turkey were analyzed energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometric method. The average Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Zr, Pb found 3510, 95, 129, 741, 30,569, 67, 168, 25, 62, 9, 173, 28 mg/kg dry weight, respectively.

Comprehensive review of nickel biogeochemistry, bioavailability, and health risks in the environment

Land Degradation and Development, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 34(14), С. 4141 - 4156

Опубликована: Июнь 30, 2023

Abstract Elevated nickel (Ni) content in soils and water cause a potential threat to food safety human health. Owing its numerous uses from common domestic items industrial usage, it is vital assess bioavailability speciation the natural environment. In this review, biogeochemical cycling of Ni environment aspects like dissolution, reducing‐oxidizing condition, pH, precipitation, biological transformations have been briefly discussed. Moreover, health risks associated with assessed based on datasets (soil samples diverse countries) collected literature, exerts various perils humans for example punctures nasal septum, prolonged rhinitis, contact dermatitis instigated by absorption Ni‐metal dust, alloys, salts injured skin etc. The carcinogenic non‐carcinogenic inferences showed that dermal interaction foremost method revelation, children are more susceptible than adults. findings study will be significant scientists, environmentalists, policymakers making strategic strategies environmental protection management reduce pollution

Sustainable irrigation reduces arsenic bioavailability in fluvio-alluvial soils promoting microbial responses, high rice productivity and economic profit

EarthArXiv (California Digital Library), Год журнала: 2023, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Июль 26, 2023

Minimizing arsenic (74.92As33) loading into rice plants, we suggest adopting alternating wetting and drying (AWD) irrigation as a sustainable water management strategy allowing greater silicon (28.08Si14) availability. This two-year field-based project is the first report on AWD's impact As-Si distribution in fluvio-alluvial soils of entire Ganga valley (24 study sites divided six Gangetic divisions), seasonal variance (pre-monsoon monsoon), plant anatomy productivity, soil microbial diversity, gene ontology profiling, cellular metabolic pathways. Under AWD to flooded pre-monsoon monsoon cultivations, respectively, As bioavailability was reduced by 8.71–9.25% 25.68–26.13%. In seasons, grain yield under improved 8.41% 9.96%, respectively proving economic profitability. Compared waterlogging, proves be optimal condition for supporting communities fields, diverse activities, As-resistance, active expression As-responsive genes products. Finally, it determined that using AWD, use groundwater can reduced, lowering cost pumping field generating an profit farmers. These combined assessments prove acceptability establishment multiple development goals (SDGs).
