“…In the research, the background values, sampling numbers, and standard deviations of heavy metals in soils of Southwest China recorded by China Environmental Monitoring Station (1990) were selected as the control group. The mean value, sampling quantity, and standard deviation of soil heavy metal content extracted in the literature survey were the treatment group [9,10]. In the research, 2 Journal of Sensors logarithmic reaction ratio ðln RÞ was used to measure the effect value.…”

In order to solve the intensifying problem of heavy metal pollution of soil in mining areas, a method for monitoring air quality and soil environment in mining areas based on the Internet of Things is proposed. Using meta-analysis method and health risk assessment method, the impact of mining on soil heavy metal content in Southwest China was quantitatively analyzed, and the relationship between soil heavy metal value and its potential influencing factors was discussed, as well as the heavy metal pollution, ecological risk, and health caused by soil mining activities. Risks were assessed. The results showed that artificial and oral intake were the main modes of soil heavy metal exposure, with the highest daily intakes for noncarcinogenic risk children and the highest daily intakes for carcinogenic risk adult females. The noncarcinogenic risk (HQ>1) of soil As and Pb exposure to children was 3.74 and 1.44, respectively. The carcinogenic risk values of As, Cd, Cr, and Ni in soil were all higher than 10-6, indicating that the carcinogenic risk was within the tolerance range of human body. Children were exposed to the combined noncarcinogenic risk ( HI = 3.83 ), and the risk values of the three types of recipients were 1.19 × 10 − 4 , 1.21 × 10 − 4 , and 1.06 × 10 − 4 , respectively. The correlation between heavy metal content and environmental factors was obtained. It is verified that the system in this paper can effectively monitor the meteorological environment and soil environment, and at the same time, it reveals the pollution law of heavy metals in the soil of the mining area, which provides supporting conditions for future mining and heavy metal pollution management.

“…However, the contribution of anthropogenic factors is often reported to be dominant, due to rapid urbanization [1][2][3][4]. Common anthropogenic sources include traffic emissions, industrial activities, such as power generation and waste management practices, and domestic fuel combustions [5][6][7][8][9]. Heavy metals may have acute and chronic effects on human health, including gastrointestinal and kidney dysfunction, nervous system disorders, vascular and immune system damage, infertility and birth defects, and cancer [10][11][12].…”

“…A great number of studies have dealt with the levels of heavy metals and related risks to children's health when exposed to them through contact with the soil of playgrounds [5][6][7]15,18,19,22,[24][25][26][27][28][29]. Contrarily, relevant studies on the sand of sandboxes are rather limited [8,17,[27][28][29]; even fewer have compared the levels of heavy metals in soil and sand [9,14,30]. The primary reason for this discrepancy is that sand is considered rather an inert matrix for the accumulation of heavy metals.…”

Heavy Metals in Soil and Sand from Playgrounds of Çanakkale City (Turkey), and Related Health Risks for Children

Children spend most of their time in playgrounds and, in parallel, constitute the social group most sensitive to contaminants. Here, we present the results of a comparative study of heavy-metal contents between soils and sand from sandboxes obtained from playgrounds of Çanakkale city. Average contents of soils followed the order of iron (Fe) (12,901 mg kg−1) > manganese (Mn) (475 mg kg−1) > zinc (Zn) (58 mg kg−1) > copper (Cu) (28 mg kg−1) > nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr) (21 mg kg−1) > lead (Pb) (18 mg kg−1). Sand had lower contents, however, due to the reduction of particles size through prolonged use, and accumulation of Fe/Mn (oxyhydr)oxides on sand grains tended to diminish the differences between soils and sand. Through chemometric analysis, Cr and Ni were found to have a lithogenic origin, while the rest of metals were related to anthropogenic activities. Spatially, heavy-metal contents followed the pattern of the city’s sprawl. Risk estimates on children’s health showed that ingestion was the most important exposure route, followed by dermal contact and inhalation. Exposure of children to sand was of similar importance to that of soils. These findings are significant, as the contamination of sand has not yet received much attention compared to the soil of playgrounds.
