“…In uence of heavy metal combination types and land use types of similar pollution sources on heavy metal accumulation.The results of several previous studies indicate that a high Cd content may be closely related to local copper mining and metal smelting activities(Petit et al, 2022;Wang et al, 2016;Zeng et al, 2022), This is more consistent with the conclusions we reached in this study. Soil type and pH can also largely in uenced the Cr…”

In key areas of ecological protection, it is significant to consider the similarity of pollution sources among heavy metals and the interaction between different sources, especially the ecological risk areas caused by heavy metal pollution. We collected 51 soil samples from five land use types with different soil depths in an industrial area on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Two and three major heavy metal combination types of Cd Cu Cr Pb and Zn in different soil layers were identified using absolute principal component score-multiple linear regression models, and the potential pollution sources corresponding to the different types were quantified using Geo-Detector models. Industrial activities, especially metallurgy and mining, are the most likely potential sources of Cd Cu and Pb pollution, while the enrichment effects caused by rivers and roads are also evident in the study area. Heavy metal levels were generally higher in watered and urban lands and lower in grasslands. The downward migration of heavy metals in the study area was inferred from the similar trends of several indicators between soil layers A and B. The new model Nemerow Integrated Risk Index (NIRI) was used to analyse the integrated ecological risk across the study area and under different land use types by comparing with the pollution load index and Nemerow Integrated Pollution Index, and it was found that the risk level was lower in grassland and forest land than under other land use types, while it was higher in urban land and irrigated land. NIRI was able to highlight the impact of high Cd toxicity factors on the overall risk level, and is more accurate and flexible in identifying risk areas.

“…Severe weather, floods and droughts have become increasingly common and such events are very unpredictable. These changes have and will relentlessly affect environmental, organismal and human health as MMs are redistributed by fluvial processes (Frogner-Kockum et al 2020;Iordache et al 2022;Steingraber et al 2022) and begin to infiltrate seemingly harmless activities, such as gardening (Petit et al 2022), by contaminating urban soils (Yang et al 2022). Furthermore, in light of recent events, uncontrolled naturally-occurring wildfires are becoming an increasing occurrence as land and air become drier and the heat from the sun becomes stronger.…”

“…In our Mediterranean population, the presence of these essential trace elements is relatively high [ 83 , 97 , 113 ]. Particularly significant is the methodology for evaluating exposure to trace elements from food or other sources [ 114 , 115 , 116 ]. Considering that the geographical origin influences the trace element content of foods, various biomarkers in biological samples are preferred as more objective measures.…”

Single and Combined Associations of Plasma and Urine Essential Trace Elements (Zn, Cu, Se, and Mn) with Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Mediterranean Population

et al. 2022

Trace elements are micronutrients that are required in very small quantities through diet but are crucial for the prevention of acute and chronic diseases. Despite the fact that initial studies demonstrated inverse associations between some of the most important essential trace elements (Zn, Cu, Se, and Mn) and cardiovascular disease, several recent studies have reported a direct association with cardiovascular risk factors due to the fact that these elements can act as both antioxidants and pro-oxidants, depending on several factors. This study aims to investigate the association between plasma and urine concentrations of trace elements and cardiovascular risk factors in a general population from the Mediterranean region, including 484 men and women aged 18–80 years and considering trace elements individually and as joint exposure. Zn, Cu, Se, and Mn were determined in plasma and urine using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). Single and combined analysis of trace elements with plasma lipid, blood pressure, diabetes, and anthropometric variables was undertaken. Principal component analysis, quantile-based g-computation, and calculation of trace element risk scores (TERS) were used for the combined analyses. Models were adjusted for covariates. In single trace element models, we found statistically significant associations between plasma Se and increased total cholesterol and systolic blood pressure; plasma Cu and increased triglycerides and body mass index; and urine Zn and increased glucose. Moreover, in the joint exposure analysis using quantile g-computation and TERS, the combined plasma levels of Zn, Cu, Se (directly), and Mn (inversely) were strongly associated with hypercholesterolemia (OR: 2.03; 95%CI: 1.37–2.99; p < 0.001 per quartile increase in the g-computation approach). The analysis of urine mixtures revealed a significant relationship with both fasting glucose and diabetes (OR: 1.91; 95%CI: 1.01–3.04; p = 0.046). In conclusion, in this Mediterranean population, the combined effect of higher plasma trace element levels (primarily Se, Cu, and Zn) was directly associated with elevated plasma lipids, whereas the mixture effect in urine was primarily associated with plasma glucose. Both parameters are relevant cardiovascular risk factors, and increased trace element exposures should be considered with caution.
