“…PHEs from industrial activities and agricultural fertilization management accumulate continuously after entering the soil and migrate in different systems (such as water systems and crops), thereby entering the human body through the food chain, resulting in harm to human health [3,65]. Besides, compared with daily average exposure, non-carcinogenic risk index and carcinogenic risk index, it can be found that children are more vulnerable to PHEs in soil than adults (Figure 8), which is similar to previous research results [44,60,65]. It is mainly because the children's immune resistance is much lower than that of adults, which is more sensitive to environmental pollution.…”

“…Consequently, the enrichment of Cr in the study area may be the result of the application of fertilizer using sludge as the raw material. Field investigation found printing and dyeing mills and mining enterprises using Cr compounds around the reclamation area [60]. In summary, sewage irrigation and fish feed fish have become important sources of soil Cr in this area [55,61].…”

“…In this study, the highest non-carcinogenic risk and the carcinogenic risk appeared in industrial land, followed by farmland and vegetable land (Figure 8). Yang et.al [60] found that the health risks of industrial areas were higher than that of agricultural areas in China. Tables 3 and 4 showed that the ratio of average daily exposure dose between ingestion and inhalation, dermal contact was all close to 10 3 .…”

Coastal tidelands are important ecological habitat resources and valuable resources for agricultural land reclamation. Enrichment of potentially harmful elements (PHEs) in soil caused by anthropogenic activity is an important factor implicated in the ecological deterioration of soil in China. A total of 54 soil sample sites were selected from a 30-year reclaimed tideland and an adjoining coastal wetland. Descriptive and multivariate statistical analyses were performed to describe the enrichment, source, health risk status of eight PHEs (As, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) after long-term reclamation. Results indicated that after 30 years of reclamation, most soil PHEs are slightly enriched, whereas no serious threat of environmental pollution was observed. In the reclamation area, the enrichment of PHEs in the aquaculture land, industrial land, and cropland was relatively high compared with other land use types, such as tideland and halophyte land. The source analysis divided the PHEs into five categories: (1) Cu; (2) Co and Mn; (3) Cr; (4) As and Pb; (5) Zn and Ni. Cu was completely derived from natural parent materials and other elements were governed by both weathering of parent rock and human activities, including agricultural activities, industrial production, and transportation emissions. The health risk assessment showed that the soil PHEs potentially had no non-carcinogenic risk to the public, but there was an acceptable probability to have cancer due to Cr and As. Meanwhile, children are more susceptible to harm from the PHEs in soil than adults. According to the economic and social development situation in the coastal region, it is necessary to pay attention to the environmental threats of PHEs enrichment.

2019)Sorption of Pb(II) and Cu(II) on the colloid of black soil, red soil and fine powder kaolinite: effects of pH, ionic strength and organic matter, Environmental Pollutants and Bioavailability, 31:1, 85-93, ABSTRACTThe sorption potentials of two soil colloids and fine powder kaolinite for Pb(II) and Cu(II) were analyzed, and the effects of pH, ionic strength and organic matter on the sorption were invetigated. The two soil colloids and fine powder kaolinite were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Black soil had more mineral compositions and surface functional groups. The sorption was pH-dependent.In the presence of humic acid, the adsorption of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions on soil was increased, while the increase in ionic strengths decreased the adsorption. Sorption kinetics and isotherms of Pb(II) and Cu(II) onto three soil colloids were well fitted with Pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model/Freundlich model. Black soil had the highest sorption capacity of Pb(II) (44.287 mg g −1 ) and Cu(II) (11.109 mg g −1 ), followed by red soil (9.764 and 4.152 mg g −1 ) and kaolinite (7.612 and 3.064 mg g −1 ). The two metals competed with each other during sorption. ARTICLE HISTORY
