“…This statement correlates with Li et al [94] and Feng et al [92]. Our results also confirm the theory of Ye et al [95], that the spatiotemporal dynamics of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Zn, and Pb) may be due to the physical and chemical properties of the soil.…”

This study assisted in identifying and preventing the increase in heavy metals in soil and winter wheat. Its accumulation can affect cultivated crops, quality and crop yields, and consumers’ health. Selected heavy metals were analyzed using the GTAAS method. They were undertaken on selected heavy metals content (Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn) in arable soils at three sites in Slovakia and their accumulation in parts of cultivated winter wheat. Our study showed that the limit value of Cd in soil samples was exceeded in the monitored arable soils from 2017–2019. The average content values of Cu and Zn did not exceed the limit values, even in Pb values (except for the spring period). The analyses also showed that the heavy metals content for plants bioavailable in soil did not exceed the statutory critical values for Cd, Cu, and Zn’s average content values. However, Pb content exceeded permitted critical values. Heavy metals bioaccumulation (Zn, Cu) was within the limit values in wheat. Analyzed Cd content in wheat roots and Pb content were determined in all parts of wheat except grain. The study showed that grain from cultivated winter wheat in monitored arable soils is not a risk for consumers.

“…With respect to factor analysis of pH, EC and major ions in Bosten Lake water with the maximum variance method for rotation, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett's test result with value of 0.869 meet the factor analysis conditions. Therefore, according to the results of factor analysis [56], 2 categories were obtained (Figure 6), corresponding to F1 and F2, which together explain 92.75% of…”

As one of the important water sources of the desert ecosystem in the Tarim Basin, the largest fishery base in Xinjiang, and the former largest inland and freshwater lake of China, the water quality of Bosten Lake is worthy of government and public attention. To determine the water’s hydrochemical composition and the water quality of Bosten Lake, analyses of the spatial distribution, water pollution status and irrigation suitability were conducted with statistical methods, including redundancy and factor analyses, inverse distance weighted interpolation, and water quality assessment and saturation index simulation of minerals in the water from a survey done in 2018. The results suggested that the average total dissolved solids (TDS) of Bosten Lake in 2018 was 1.32 g/L, and the lake is alkaline with a pH of 8.47. The strength of the water exchange capacity affected the spatial distribution of TDS. The spatial distribution of TDS and its value can be significantly changed by restoring the water supply of seasonal rivers in the northwest. The water of Bosten Lake contains sulfate and sodium groups, which are mainly affected by lake evaporation. As the pH increases, the content of carbonate ions increases, while the content of bicarbonate ions decreases. The spatial distributions of other major ions are consistent with that of the TDS. The spatial distribution of potentially toxic elements is more complicated than that of major ions. In general, the spatial distribution of Cu and As is more consistent with the spatial distribution of electrical conductivity or TDS. The spatial distributions of the Zn, Se and pH values are more consistent with respect to other variables. Although the water of Bosten Lake is still at a permissible level for water irrigation, the lake is moderately polluted, and the local site almost has a highly polluted status. The research results are of great significance for lake environmental protection and management as well as watershed ecological restoration.

“…Through both terrestrial and aquatic food chains, metal(loid)s can be absorbed by surrounding organisms and transferred to higher trophic levels, which causes potential harmful impacts on ecological and human health (Tshalakatumbay et al 2015;Lindsay et al 2017;Li et al 2018a). It has been reported that chronic exposures to copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg) could induce Wilson, Itai-itai, and Minamata diseases, respectively (Han et al 2017;Ye et al 2019). As a result, an improved understanding on the environmental cycling of metal(loid) contaminants is essential for food security, public health, and ecological sustainability.…”

Spatial distribution and solubilization characteristics of metal(loid)s in riparian soils within reservoirs along the middle Jinsha River

Purpose The construction of large dams submerges riparian soils within reservoirs. However, little is known about the influence of water submergence on metal(loid) solubilization from polluted soils. In this study, the spatial distribution and solubilization characteristics of soil-associated metal(loid)s within reservoirs along the middle Jinsha River were evaluated. Methods Concentrations of soil-associated metal(loid)s were determined and principal component analysis was performed to evaluate the metal(loid) spatial distribution. Then, metal(loid) chemical fractions of highly contaminated soils were analyzed. Finally, ex situ experiments of metal(loid) solubilization were conducted under the influence of changing pH, suspended solid concentration (SSC), and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) conditions as well as successive drought-wetting cycles. Results Within the LY, AH, and LKK reservoirs, the soil-associated Ni and Cr originated from specific metal(loid) ores, and Cd and Cu remained from historical industrial pollution posed potential risks to water quality. Water submergence changed pH, SSC, and ORP conditions, which affected metal(loid) solubilization through dissolution-precipitation and sorption-desorption processes. The low SSC variables contributed to over 20% solubilization of total Cd, Cu, and As. Moreover, the neutral-alkaline conditions due to carbonate-dominated lithology limited metal(loid) release from soils. Finally, the decreased ORP promoted solubilization of metal(loid)s bound to Fe-Mn oxyhydroxides. Generally, the solubilization levels of metal(loid)s were dependent on the chemical fractions.Conclusion Water submergence could induce potential solubilization of metal(loid)s, especially for Cd from historical industrial pollution. Thus, this study highlighted that the investigation on both spatial distribution and solubilization characteristics of metal(loid)s in riparian soils is important for future environmental management of reservoirs.
