Identifying potential sources of soil potentially toxic elements (PTEs) and developing source-
oriented health risk assessments in typical mining cities are key for pollution prevention and …

Long-term retention and accumulation of heavy metals in rivers pose a great threat to the
stability of ecosystems and human health. In this study, Beiyun River was taken as the …

The environmental risk assessment and the factors influencing heavy metals (HM) in the soil
at the municipal solid waste landfill sites (MSWLs) were studied by literature review, field …

Smelting activities are the main pathway for the anthropogenic release of heavy metals
(HMs) into the soil-groundwater environment. It is vital to identify the factors affecting HMs …

Mining activities in metal mine areas cause serious environmental pollution, thereby
imposing stresses to soil ecosystems. Investigating the ecological pattern underlying …

Previous studies about heavy metal (HM) accumulation in the surrounding areas affected by
mining mainly focused on a single or just a few mining areas. However, these studies could …
