The understanding of sources and controlling factors of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in
soils plays an important role in the improvement of environmental management. With the …

Background The carcinogenic effect of arsenic (As) has been documented in lung, bladder
and skin cancers but remains unclear for digestive cancers, although metabolic pathways of …

Intact,'healthy'soils provide indispensable ecosystem services that largely depend on the
biotic activity. Soil health is connected with human health, yet, knowledge of the underlying …

Mining activities usually caused soil polluted by potential toxic elements (PTEs). This paper
used the analysis of correlation, variance, and power analysis to clarify the relationship and …

Spatio-temporal cancer mortality studies in Spain have revealed patterns for some tumours

Stomach cancer (SC) is a severe health burden, with nearly half of the world's cases found
in China. Noticeably, the emissions of heavy metals into the environment have increased …

The spatial structural patterns of geochemical backgrounds are often ignored in
geochemical anomaly recognition, leading to the ineffective recognition of valuable …

Heavy metals and arsenic are well-known carcinogens. However, few studies have
examined whether soil heavy metals and arsenic concentrations associate with cancer in …

Geographically weighted regression (GWR) is an important local method to explore spatial
non‐stationarity in data relationships. It has been repeatedly used to examine spatially …
