[Hydrochemical Characteristics and Controlling Factors of Groundwater in the Leizhou Peninsula].

Groundwater resources in the Leizhou Peninsula provide a strong support for the economic and social development. Therefore, understanding the chemical characteristics and formation mechanism of groundwater in this area is necessary for the rational exploitation and sustainable utilization of water resources. In this study, 43 groundwater samples were collected, and the hydrochemical characteristics and controlling factors were analyzed by descriptive statistical analysis, Piper triangular diagrams, ArcGIS spatial interpolation, Gibbs diagram, and ion ratios.

[Source Analysis and Health Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in Groundwater of Leizhou Peninsula].

Source identification and health risk assessment of heavy metals in groundwater is one of the key issues in China's new era of environmental management. In order to reveal the status, sources, and health risk of pollutants in groundwater of the Leizhou Peninsula, 44 groundwater samples were collected, and the concentrations and spatial distribution of Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Hg, and Pb were measured and analyzed. The sources of heavy metals in groundwater were then determined through correlation coefficient and principal component analysis.
