To study the level of heavy metal pollution and ecological risks in the soil around typical mining areas in Tongling, a total of 150 soil samples were collected from the study area. The content characteristics of 10 elements, namely, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Fe, and Zn, in the soils were analyzed. Methods including enrichment factor, the geo-accumulation index, single-factor pollution index, Nemero comprehensive pollution index, and potential ecological risk index were used to evaluate the pollution status of heavy metals in the soil of the study area.

- There is limited information about the hydrochemical properties of deep groundwater in the Linhuan coal-mining area of Northern Anhui, China, but a study analyzed 17 groundwater samples revealing concerning levels of dissolved solids and certain ions.
- The study found that the majority of samples exceeded WHO and national drinking water standards for various substances, indicating potential health risks.
- The research also noted that the groundwater chemistry is influenced by local rock weathering and ion exchanges, suggesting that the groundwater system is relatively closed, impacting its use for agricultural irrigation without prior treatment.
