Abstract:

Heavy metal pollution in soil has seriously threatened the ecological environment and human health. Due to the limitation of resources and cost, it is key to manage and control heavy metal pollution in soil for determining the priority control factors and pollution sources of soil pollution. 31 soil samples (0-20 cm) were collected from a mining area and its surrounding areas in Hetao area, Inner Mongolia. Based on the coupling simulation research of the pollution index method, PMF model, Monte Carlo simulation, and USEPA health risk assessment model, the pollution characteristics, pollution sources, and the negative effects on human health were investigated, and the priority control factors such as pollution sources and pollution elements were determined controlling for heavy metal pollution in soil to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of heavy metal pollution in mining areas. The results showed that the average contents of seven heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Zn, Ni, Pb, Cr, and As) all exceeded the soil background value in Hetao area of Inner Mongolia, and Cu and Pb exceeded the risk screening value of Soil environmental quality Risk control standard for soil contamination of agricultural land (GB 15618—2018). Based on the PMF model and correlation analysis, the main sources of heavy metals in soil were traffic pollution sources (34.7%), agricultural pollution sources (9.3%), natural parent material sources (17.8%), and tailings pollution sources (38.2%). The results of the health risk assessment showed that both children and adults had carcinogenic risks, while only the children had the non-carcinogenic health risks exceeding the acceptable value. Source-oriented health risk assessment showed that As and Cr were the priority control elements, and tailings pollution sources and natural parent materials were the priority control pollution sources.

摘要:

土壤重金属污染已严重威胁生态环境和人类健康。由于资源和成本的限制,确定土壤污染的优先控制因子和污染源是管控和治理土壤重金属污染的关键。于内蒙古河套地区某矿区及周边区域共采集31个土壤样品(0—20 cm),基于污染指数法、PMF模型、Monte Carlo模拟和USEPA健康风险评价模型等耦合模拟研究,探究其土壤重金属的污染特征、污染源及其对人体健康的危害,确定土壤重金属污染管控中的污染源和污染元素等优先控制因子,以期为矿区土壤重金属污染防治和管控提供科学依据。结果表明,Cd、Cu、Zn、Ni、Pb、Cr和As 7种重金属平均含量均超过内蒙古河套地区土壤背景值,Cu和Pb超过《土壤环境质量农用地土壤污染风险管控标准》(GB 15618—2018)的风险筛选值。利用PMF模型结合相关性分析,确定土壤重金属主要来源为交通污染源(34.7%)、农业污染源(9.3%)、自然母质源(17.8%)以及尾矿污染源(38.2%)。健康风险评价结果显示,儿童和成人均存在致癌风险,而非致癌健康风险只有儿童超过了可接受值。基于源导向的健康风险评价表明,As和Cr为优先控制元素,尾矿污染源和自然母质源为优先控制污染源。
