Article Synopsis
- The study focused on soil properties and heavy metal contamination in commercial and residential areas of Nanjing, China, throughout various Chinese Dynasties.
- Results indicated that urban soils, especially in the former commercial quarter, showed high levels of heavy metals like Cu, Zn, and Pb, with significant increases during specific historical periods such as the South Dynasty, early Ming, and late Qing.
- The findings suggest that the rise in heavy metals was linked to intense metal processing activities, reflecting historical human activities and societal changes over the past 20 centuries.
