Article Synopsis
- Soil heavy metal (HM) contamination in Yangtze River New City, China poses ecological and health risks, and the study uses various methods to identify spatial drivers of this pollution.
- Although average HM concentrations in the soil were below national standards, some metals like As, Cd, and Hg were found above local background levels.
- Four main factors driving contamination include natural sources, mixed agricultural and transportation activities, human behaviors, and industrial sources, with regional variations affecting health and ecological risks.

Article Synopsis
- - Heavy metals (HMs) in soil pose serious risks to food security and human health, with a study in Nansha District, China, collecting 837 samples to analyze the sources and health risks of several HMs including As, Cd, and Pb.
- - An integrated assessment model was created to identify pollution sources, health risks, and environmental capacities, finding that most HMs exceeded background levels primarily due to natural, transportation, and industrial activities.
- - The study highlighted the urgent need for targeted control measures, as a significant percentage of cancer risk values exceeded safe thresholds, indicating that arsenic (As) is the main priority for pollution management in the area.

Heavy metals (HMs) in groundwater seriously threaten ecological safety and human health. To facilitate the effective management of groundwater contamination, priority control factors of HMs in groundwater need to be categorized. A total of 86 groundwater samples were collected from the Huangpi district of Wuhan city, China, during the dry and wet seasons.

Peninsula regions in China face serious environmental issues, such as heavy metal (HM) groundwater contamination. However, attempts to investigate the pollution sources and health risks of HM contamination in such regions require considerable resources and costs. Moreover, the priority control factors for groundwater HMs remain unclear.

Groundwater is a significant component of water resources, but drinking groundwater with excessive heavy metals (HMs) is harmful to human health. Currently, quantitative source apportionment and probabilistic health risk assessment of HMs in groundwater are relatively limited. In this study, 60 groundwater samples containing seven HMs were collected from Hainan Island and analyzed by the coupled absolute principal component scores/multiple linear regression (APCS/MLR), the health risk assessment (HRA) and the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) to quantify the pollution sources of HMs and the health risks.
