Introduction. Nonferrous metals are indispensable basic materials, and they are strategically important for the national economy of China (Song et al., 2019; Xue et al., 2022), which greatly increases their demand and leads to increasing mining and smelting of metal ores.The productivity of ten different nonferrous metals in China reached …

Sb contamination in soil has become a global environmental issue particularly at mine sites, smelters, e-waste recycling factories, landfills, electronic equipment factories, and flame retardant ...

The metal ore mining industry, including copper, generates over 10 billion tonnes of slags, dusts and aerosols as by-products, which are contaminated with metals and metalloids, including toxic ones such as As, Cd, Hg and Pb. Landfilling is the most common method of waste management.

1.2.3 Activities Generating Heavy Metals. Sources of heavy metal vary from place to places. Generally, these include sewage and stormwater discharges; landfills and cemeteries; incinerators and crematoria and motor vehicles, while a range of human activities like electroplating, smelting, dentists, laboratories, timber preservation, drum …

In developing countries, rapid industrialization without environmental controls has resulted in heavy metal contamination of communities. We hypothesized that residential neighborhoods located near ore industries in three northern Mexican cities would be heavily polluted with multiple contaminants (arsenic, cadmium, and lead) and that …

Smelter and mill wastewater outfalls, receiving water, biota, slag heaps, tailings ponds, streams, and coal-burning fly ash dumps were sampled as part of this effort to determine the effect of effluent or residual spillage on aquatic systems. Up to 17% lead, 0.1% cadmium and 5 ppm thallium were found in sediments of streams used for irrigation and …

This water transports potentially toxic wastes into naturally erosive bottom sediments thereby contaminating the food chain. Prevention techniques recommended …

Heavy metal pollution and acid mine drainage is a very important environmental concern where waste materials containing metal-rich sulfides from mining activity have been stored or abandoned . Tailings and rock dumps are associated with the surface impacts which greatly affect surface and ground water quality.

The majority (67) of the 114 known elements—90 of which occur naturally on Earth—form metals, and all but one of them (Hg) are solids; atomic or molecular gases consist of eleven elements, whereas solid or liquid nonmetals comprise twelve additional elements (Smith and , 2015).Rare earth elements are vital in many fields, including …

The metal pollution in the studied forest soils was a mix of many heavy metals emanating from the smelter point source. Nonetheless, Cu showed the largest proportional difference in concentration along the gradient, with a high level of correlation to all other metals, rendering it an effective index to screen for metal pollution effects.

In this study, we investigated the pollution degree and spatial distribution of heavy metals and determined their sources in soil near a typical Pb/Zn smelter in an arid area of northwest China.

The distribution heavy metal pollution in the Lianshui River is controlled by surface water transport and deposition. Our findings demonstrate that magnetic methods have a useful and practical application for detecting and mapping pollution in and around modern industrial cities. ... lead ore smelters, and roadside pollution due to automotive ...

Heavy metal pollution in mining areas is a major cause of groundwater contamination, characterized by high toxicity, difficult degradability, and easy …

The distribution and the availability of Cd, Zn, Cu, and Pb along the entire profile of two highly polluted soils located near Zn smelters have been related to the chemical and mineralogical composition of the soil. Lead and Cu deposits always remain in the surface layers and their availability measured by neutral ammonium acetate extraction was very …

The results highlight the significance of heavy metal pollution caused by mining and smelting operations in China. Soil contaminated with heavy metals poses significant health concerns, both carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic, particularly to children and individuals living in heavily polluted mining and smelting areas. Implementing …

where C n is the measured concentration of every heavy metal found in farmland soil (mg/kg), and B n is the geological chemical background value (Table S1) of the heavy metals found in soil (mg/kg ...

Contamination by heavy metals is a significant issue worldwide. In recent decades, soil heavy metals pollutants in China had adverse impacts on soil quality and threatened food security and human health. Anthropogenic inputs mainly generate heavy metal contamination in China. In this review, the approaches were used in these …

All sites were heavily contaminated, with Nemerow index (P) >3.0, and all sites had very high ecological risks related to Cd and Hg. ABSTRACT To assess heavy metal pollution and human health risk, a total of 28 topsoil samples were collected during four seasons from seven agricultural soil sites near a famous smelter in Jiyuan, China. The maximum …

In the past 30 years, China's economy has experienced rapid development, which led to a vast increase in energy consumption and serious environmental pollution. Among the different types of pollution, heavy metal pollution has become one of the major environmental issues in China. A number of studies show that high level of heavy …

The increasing generation of toxic heavy metals from smelting activities poses significant threat to food safety, human health, and soil ecosystem, due to their unacceptable exposure risks and long term persistence. As a consequence, heavy metals in soils surrounding smelting areas are often known as causative contaminants for site remediation. …

This research investigates deeply the sources, distributions, and risks of heavy metal pollution in soil throughout multiple regions of China resulting from …
