Abstract
Soil heavy metal(loid) (HM) source apportionment is the prerequisite to develop suitable mitigation measures and make pollution control and prevention regulations. The selection of appropriate tools (models) for source analysis is crucial, that is especially true for large-scale regions, as the Pearl River Delta (PRD), due to the high spatial variability in soil parent materials, soil topographical feature, and wide range of anthropogenic activities. The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential applications of receptor models (positive matrix factorization [PMF] and Unmix) which have been widely used in air pollution research to quantitatively apportion sources of heavy metal(loid)s in the soils. To assist the interpretation of the derived factors (sources) of the receptor models, enrichment factors and GIS mapping were used to identify the potential relationships between the factor contributions and human activities in the study area. As the models are built on completely different algorithms, a comparative approach was adopted in addition to evaluate the impact of sample size on the model results. Factor profiles generated by different receptor models were quite similar as well as their corresponding factor contributions spatial distribution. Though the stability of their results decreases with a reduced sample size, the results of PMF were less significantly influenced by the sample size than those of Unmix. Due to the difficulty (time consuming and expensive) of soil sample collection in large-scale regions, the PMF model appears to be practically more effective than Unmix. In addition, further investigation is needed for Unmix model to understand the reason for its high sensitivity and determine an appropriate sample size.

Combining metal and stable isotope analyses to disentangle contaminant transfer in a freshwater community dominated by alien species. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2021; 268:115781. [PMID: 33049575 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2020.115781] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2020] [Revised: 10/03/2020] [Accepted: 10/04/2020] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
Freshwater ecosystems are negatively impacted by various pollutants, from agricultural, urban and industrial wastewater, with metals being one of the largest concerns. Moreover, freshwater ecosystems are often affected by alien species introductions that can modify habitats and trophic relationships. Accordingly, the threat posed by metals interacts with those by alien species, since the latter can accumulate and transfer these substances across the food web to higher trophic levels. How metals transfer within such communities is little studied. We analysed the concentration of 14 metals/metalloids (Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, Zn, hereafter 'metal(s)') of eight fish and three crustacean species co-existing in the Arno River (Central Italy), most of which were alien. To assess the pathway of contaminants within the community, we coupled metal analysis with carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis derived from the same specimens. Crustaceans showed higher metal concentration than fish, except for Cd, Hg and Se that were higher in fish. We found evidence of trophic transfer for six metals (Cd, Cr, Hg, Mg, Se, Zn). Additionally, ontogenetic differences and differences among various fish tissues (muscle, liver, and gills) were found in metals concentration. Considerable biomagnification along the trophic chain was found for Hg, while other metals were found to biodilute. Using stable isotopes and Hg as a third diet tracer, we refined the estimations of consumed preys in the diet previously reconstructed with stable isotope mixing models. Alien species reach high biomass and can both survive to and accumulate high pollutants concentrations, potentially posing a risk for their predators and humans. A combined effect of environmental filtering and increased competition may potentially contribute to the disappearance of native species with lower tolerances.

Abstract
The rapid growth of industrial and agricultural activities in Malaysia are leading to the impairment of most of the rivers in recent years through realising various trace metals. This leads to toxicity, particularly when the toxic has entered the food chain. Perak River is one of the most dynamic rivers for the Malaysian population. Therefore, in consideration of the safety issue, this study was conducted to assess the concentration of such metals (Cd, Cu, Zn, Fe, and Pb) in the muscles of most widely consumed fish species (Barbonymus schwanenfeldii, Puntius bulum, Puntius daruphani, Hexanematichthys sagor, Channa striatus, Mystacoleucus marginatus, and Devario regina) from different locations of Perak River, Malaysia by employing inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Among the trace metals, Fe and Cd were found to be the highest (29.33–148.01 μg/g) and lowest (0.16–0.49 μg/g) concentration in all of the studied species, respectively. Although the estimated daily intakes (μg/kg/day) of Cd (0.65–0.85), Fe (79.27–352.00) and Pb (0.95–12.17) were higher than their reference, the total target hazard quotients values suggested that the local residents would not experience any adverse health effects from its consumption. In contrast, the target cancer risk value suggested that all fish species posed a potential cancer risk due to Cd and cumulative cancer risk values, strongly implying that continuous consumption of studied fish species would cause cancer development to its consumers.

Abstract
Trace element contamination caused by mining is a serious environmental problem. The potential effects of exploiting the Yunfu pyrite mine (southern China) on soil were investigated by determining trace elements in 56 surface soil samples from the vicinity of the Yunfu pyrite mine. The samples were acid dissolved and measured by an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis were used to identify factors influencing the trace element contents and possible sources of the trace elements. The degree of trace element pollution was determined using the geological accumulation index Igeo. Monte Carlo simulations were used to assess the health risks posed. The results show that (1) six factors (parent material, mining activities, ore composition, rainfall, terrain, and other inputs) strongly affected the trace element contents of the soil samples. (2) There were three groups of trace elements, according to their possible sources. One group (Cs, Ga, Ge, Hf, Nb, Rb, Ta, Th, Ti, U, and Zr) mainly originated in parent rocks. Another group (Cr, Ni, Sr, and V) was mainly supplied by industrial plants and traffic emissions. The third group (Ba, Co, Cu, Mn, Pb, and Zn) was mainly supplied through pyrite ore exploitation processes. (3) Some samples were slightly to moderately polluted with Cs, Ga, Ge, Nb, Rb, Ta, and Ti. Most samples were moderately to highly polluted with Ba, Co, Cu, Mn, Pb, and Zn. (4) Trace elements in soil pose strong non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks to people (particularly children) living near the Yunfu pyrite mine.

Abstract
Effective remediation technologies to remediate multiple heavy metal contaminated farmlands are lacking. To make full use of farmlands and control its consequent health risks, we planted mulberry trees in arsenic (As)-cadmium (Cd)-lead (Pb) co-contaminated soils at four different sites; then reared silkworms on leaves harvested from these mulberry trees; and finally used the silkworm excrement to in situ remediate the As, Cd, and Pb polluted paddy soil. Mulberry leaves and stalks showed weak abilities to accumulate As, Cd, and Pb. As and Pb tended to accumulate in silkworm pupae and silkworm excrement, respectively, posing a potential health risk when they were used as pharmaceutical materials or foods. However, using the leaves of mulberry trees planted in Cd-contaminated soils to rear silkworms had a low health risk. Silkworm excrement significantly reduced the As, Cd and Pb concentrations in rice grains, with As and Cd concentration being lower but for Pb being higher their respective national limit standards. In conclusion, based on the rational utilization of resources such as silkworm excrement, pupae, and cocoons, the integrated measure in this study could effectively reduce the environmental health risks resulting from multiple As, Cd, and Pb contamination.

Abstract
Thirty bottom sediment samples were collected from northern Hurghada coast, Red Sea, Egypt to evaluate the level of anthropogenic pollutants, using enrichment factor (EF), potential ecological risk index (PERI), soil pollution index (SPI), potential contamination index (Cp) and multivariate statistical analysis (correlation analysis, principal component analysis, and hierarchical cluster analysis). Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb, Ni, Cu, Co and Cd were analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Results indicated that the average values of Pb and Cd were greater than the ones recorded from many other worldwide coastal areas. The studied sediments are extremely severe enrichment with Pb and Cd (EF > 50), severe enrichment with Zn (EF = 10-25), very high risk with Cd (PERI ≥ 320), high risk with Pb (160 ≤ PERI ˂ 320), highly contaminated with Pb (SPI > 3), a severe contamination with Pb (Cp > 3). The accumulation of pollutants is associated with the muddy and fine sediment; especially the studied area is a semi-closed bay, characterized by long time of water retention. Possible sources of metals pollution in the studied area are shipment operations and anticorrosive and antifouling paints, dredging and land filling, municipal wastewater from tourist centers and fishermen cargo boats.
