“…The Dongting Lake River Basin covers the whole Hunan Province, including 13 prefecture-level cities such as Changsha, Zhuzhou, Xiangtan, and Hengyang, and 124 counties under its jurisdiction. The upstream counties of the Dongting Lake River Basin [44] mainly include Fenghuang, Hongjiang, Shaoyang, Wugang, Ningyuan, Jiangyong, while the downstream counties of the Dongting Lake River Basin are mainly Furong, Yuelu, Changsha, Taojiang, Miluo, Huarong, and Yueyang, as shown in Figure 2.…”

Watershed environments play an important supporting role in sustainable high-quality economic development in China, but they have been deteriorating. In order to solve environmental problems in the Poyang Lake River Basin brought about by economic development, the Jiangxi Provincial Government promulgated relevant river basin protection policies in 2015. However, after several years of this policy, the specific effects of its implementation are a matter of general concern to the government and academic circles. After years of policy implementation, the implementation effect of the watershed ecological compensation policy needs to be evaluated. Based on 4248 observations from the Jiangxi and Hunan Provinces, we adopt the difference-in-difference method to analyze the impact of the ecological compensation policy on the Poyang Lake River Basin. The empirical results show that the ecological compensation policy has a significant effect on water-quality improvement. Water quality in the upstream area is better than that in the downstream area; areas with small administrative areas have a smaller population, which in turn leads to better water quality in the river basin; and the higher the per capita GDP, the worse the water quality. Our results highlight the need for the following policy improvements: ecological priority, customizing measures to local conditions, tracing the main body, and strengthening supervision.

“…Excessive intake of fluoride can cause dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis (Adewole et al 2021;Deepanjan et al 2021), and excessive manganese intake can harm the liver (Chen et al 2015). Health risk assessment intends to find and reveal the connection between environmental pollution and human health, and can quantitatively describe the risk of pollution to human health (Li et al 2021b). The traditional health risk assessment uses a deterministic model, which collects a large number of model parameters and pollutant concentration data, and calculates their mean risk values.…”

In this paper, the spatial distribution of fluoride (F -) and manganese (Mn) in groundwater was described and the overall groundwater quality was assessed with the entropy weight water quality index (EWQI) in Weining Plain, northwest China. The probabilistic health risk of Fand Mn in groundwater was assessed by the Monte Carlo stochastic simulation method. The results show that 50 groundwater samples (a total of 144) belong to poor and very poor quality because of agricultural activities, industrial development, and the local hydrogeological conditions. Groundwater quality in the upper reaches of the Yellow River is better than that in the lower reaches. The average health risks faced by children and adults are 4.59 and 0.62, respectively. If the uncertainty of the model parameters are considered, the mean risks faced by children and adults are 6.84 and 0.92, respectively, indicating that the health risk to residents, especially children, cannot be ignored. Compared with dermal contact, drinking water intake is the main exposure way to harm residents' health. Fcontributed higher to the health risk than Mn, and children face greater risk than adults. Stochastic simulation can reflect health risks more comprehensively than the deterministic methods. The study results are helpful for decision makers to take measures for the safe supply of drinking water in the study area.

“…Li et al, 2021 [ 80 ] studied the BCF BS values of freshwater mussel Cristaria plicata from China, and they obtained values for As, Ni, Co and Cr in foot, gills, mantle and viscera mass. These results were as follows: 0.284, 0.599, 0.480 and 0.579 for As, 0.022, 0.068, 0.053 and 0.045 for Ni, 0.032, 0.124, 0.088 and 0.065 for Co and 0.068, 0.060, 0.096 and 0.081 for Cr.…”

A global assessment of arsenic (As), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co) and chromium (Cr) was performed in environmental samples from an important industrial bay. Different fractions of water, sediments and tissues from four species of fish were analysed. Samples were collected from selected sampling sites during four consecutive samplings in spring and autumn seasons, in order to evaluate concentrations and their possible correlations among the aquatic compartments. While a higher availability of Cr and Ni was found in water, Co and As were the most available elements in sediments. In fish, the liver was the tissue with the highest proportion of As and Co, and gills showed the highest concentrations of Ni and Cr. Significance differences were observed among sites showing the pollution sources. In sediments, high correlations were found between total Co content and the most available fractions. Total Ni content highly correlated with the oxidisable fraction, while Cr total content tightly correlated with the least available fractions. Quality guideline values for sediments were frequently exceeded. In sediments and biota, concentrations were slightly higher than in other ecosystems, indicating that maritime, industrial and urban activities are affecting this type of ecosystem with great anthropogenic influence.
