Due to the rapid urbanization and industrialization that has occurred in China over the last
few decades, metals have been continuously emitted into the urban environment and now …

Cadmium (Cd), a widely concerned heavy metal, is toxic to humans and ecosystems. In this
paper, a Cd-polluted town in southeast China was selected to estimate the Cd emissions of …

Two quantitative methods (emission inventory and isotope ratio analysis) were combined to
apportion source contributions of heavy metals entering agricultural soils in the Lihe River …

This study investigated ecological and human-health risks associated with heavy-metal
pollution arising from deposition in the Lihe River region of eastern China. Ecological risk …

Cadmium (Cd) is a non-essential and harmful element to humans. Cadmium contamination
is a serious issue for human health, especially in densely populated agroecology areas. In …

Abstract China's national “Multi-Purpose Regional Geochemical Survey”(MPRGS) project
provided high density data (1 sample/km 2) for the assessment of soil heavy metal (eg, Cd …

Through field sampling of atmospheric dustfall in regions of Zhuzhou City, China for a period
of one year, the deposition fluxes of atmospheric dustfall and five heavy metals contained …

Identifying the spatial distribution of heavy metal concentrations is a prerequisite for soil
contamination assessment and control. In this study, soil surface samples (0–20 cm) were …

The rational development of mineral resources provides necessary materials for economic
development, but environmental pollution caused by mining activities is an inevitable …
