Environmental–geochemical mapping program in the Slovak Republic

Application of health risk assessment method for geological environment at national and regional scales

“…This study is based on the results of international Geochemical Baseline Mapping Programme (Euro Geo Surveys-FOREGS, Salminen et al 2005;De Vos et al 2006) and national environmental-geochemical mapping of the Slovak Republic (Vrana et al 1997;Č urlík and Š efčík 1999;Rapant et al 1999). Within the international geochemical mapping programme, soil samples from 26 European countries were collected with the sampling design based on catchments in total of 827 samples.…”

Environmental vanadium distribution, mobility and bioaccumulation in different land-use Districts in Panzhihua Region, SW China

“…In order to assess vanadium pollution in soil, the contamination factor (C f ) (Rapant et al 1999) Table 4 The distribution of C f in different land-use districts…”

A regional geochemical survey of soils in Jiangsu Province, China: Preliminary assessment of soil fertility and soil contamination

“…Since that time, a large number of different types of regional geochemical surveys have been conducted in many countries, including China, and their results have been reported by geochemists. These studies also discuss the basic principles and methodology for studying the ecological environment through regional geochemical surveys (Darnley, 1995;Koval et al, 1995;Burenkov et al, 1996;Burenkov et al, 1999;Lombard et al, 1999;Rapant et al, 1999;Zhang and Zhang, 2001;Xie and Zhou, 2001;Zhao, 2002;Reimann et al, 2003). These studies have shown that regional geochemical surveys can play an important role in assessing environmental quality and in studying the effects Fig.…”
