Abstract
Soil Cd contamination has become increasingly prominent in karst regions. Studies have generally elucidated the natural sources of Cd in high-background areas and analyzed their migration and enrichment mechanisms. This study comprehensively analyzed the total content and speciation of Cd in high-background areas using the delayed geochemical hazard (DGH) model to identify the sources of Cd in the region. The results indicated that Cd in the research area followed a pattern of gradual geochemical disasters. In Quaternary soil, brick-red soil, and submergenic paddy soil with hydromorphic characteristics, 32%, 7.69%, and 30% of soil Cd samples exceeded the critical threshold of the releasable total amount, respectively. Based on the DGH model, it was concluded that Cd in this region was mainly influenced by human activities. Field investigations corroborated this conclusion and aligned with the findings. Compared with the traditional source apportionment receptor models (mainly PCA and PMF), the DGH model not only saved considerable time and cost, but also avoided uncertainty associated with the results and complex and varied data processing and computational analysis processes. Moreover, the DGH model was able to identify the factors having the greatest impact on the ecological risk of Cd in the research area, thus facilitating targeted prevention and management planning based on the characteristics or chemical properties of their elements.
期刊介绍：
Environmental Geochemistry and Health publishes original research papers and review papers across the broad field of environmental geochemistry. Environmental geochemistry and health establishes and explains links between the natural or disturbed chemical composition of the earth’s surface and the health of plants, animals and people.
Beneficial elements regulate or promote enzymatic and hormonal activity whereas other elements may be toxic. Bedrock geochemistry controls the composition of soil and hence that of water and vegetation. Environmental issues, such as pollution, arising from the extraction and use of mineral resources, are discussed. The effects of contaminants introduced into the earth’s geochemical systems are examined. Geochemical surveys of soil, water and plants show how major and trace elements are distributed geographically. Associated epidemiological studies reveal the possibility of causal links between the natural or disturbed geochemical environment and disease. Experimental research illuminates the nature or consequences of natural or disturbed geochemical processes.
The journal particularly welcomes novel research linking environmental geochemistry and health issues on such topics as: heavy metals (including mercury), persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and mixed chemicals emitted through human activities, such as uncontrolled recycling of electronic-waste; waste recycling; surface-atmospheric interaction processes (natural and anthropogenic emissions, vertical transport, deposition, and physical-chemical interaction) of gases and aerosols; phytoremediation/restoration of contaminated sites; food contamination and safety; environmental effects of medicines; effects and toxicity of mixed pollutants; speciation of heavy metals/metalloids; effects of mining; disturbed geochemistry from human behavior, natural or man-made hazards; particle and nanoparticle toxicology; risk and the vulnerability of populations, etc.
