To do so, radicle and hypocotyl length were measured, and Ca, K, Mg, Cd, Cu, Fe, and Zn concentrations were determined after 24, 72, and 120 h. Our results indicated significant (p < 0.05) differences in the radicle and hypocotyl length by species, contaminant dose, and exposure time. Further, the applied doses along the exposure time gradient significantly and variously affected tissue concentrations. Out of the comparisons involving single metal doses, two significant interactions were revealed: the concentrations of both Cu and Fe were significantly reduced by the increase in Cd concentration in Sudan grass tissues. It was concluded that both species have an excellent potential to indicate metal contamination and accumulate metals in the short term, however, with differences in their responses along the exposure gradient. Additionally, this study filled a literature gap by revealing major patterns and limitations in growth and metal accumulation for sorghum and Sudan grass, thereby supporting further research and practical implications.","PeriodicalId":11759,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Geochemistry and Health","volume":"47 5","pages":"178"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12011658/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143987112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the concentrations, speciation, and spatial distribution of nine TMs (As, Cd, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, Zn) in soils at an abandoned zinc smelter in southwest China. Multivariate statistical methods and the Positive matrix factorization (PMF) model were applied to disentangle primary sources and secondary redistribution. Spatial analysis revealed that As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Sb, and Zn shared similar contamination patterns, concentrated in slag storage and comprehensive recovery areas, whereas Hg and Mn exhibited distinct hotspots near sulfuric acid production and electrolysis zones. Vertical migration was most pronounced for Cd and Zn (> 8 m depth), followed by Hg and Mn (4-8 m), while As, Cu, Pb, and Sb were restricted to 0-4 m due to adsorption in clay-rich layers. Speciation analysis indicated high mobility of Cd and Zn (acid-soluble fraction: 66.96 and 52.10%, respectively), contrasting with reducible Pb and Mn (51.59 and 48.32%) and residual As, Hg, Ni, Sb (60.74-76.64%). The results from PMF model identified aqueous-phase (Cd, Zn, Mn) and solid-phase (As, Cu, Pb, Sb) migration pathways, validated by spatial correlations with topography and functional zones. Aqueous-phase contributions dominated low-lying areas, while solid-phase contributions aligned with elevated regions, reflecting topography-driven redistribution. This study advances source apportionment of TM in soil by unifying spatial heterogeneity, speciation dynamics, and receptor modeling, offering a framework for targeted risk assessment and remediation of industrial sites.","PeriodicalId":11759,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Geochemistry and Health","volume":"47 5","pages":"177"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143957377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates seasonal variations in key air pollutants, including particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and ozone (O3), in New Delhi during 2024. Utilizing Sentinel-5 satellite data processed through the Google earth engine (GEE), a cloud-based geospatial analysis platform, the study evaluates pollutant dynamics during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons. The methodology involved programming in JavaScript to extract pollution parameters, applying cloud filters to eliminate contaminated data, and generating average pollution maps at monthly, seasonal, and annual intervals. The results revealed distinct seasonal pollution patterns. Pre-monsoon root mean square error (RMSE) values for CO, NO2, SO2, and O3 were 0.13, 2.58, 4.62, and 2.36, respectively, while post-monsoon values were 0.17, 2.41, 4.31, and 4.60. Winter months exhibited the highest pollution levels due to increased emissions from biomass burning, vehicular activity, and industrial operations, coupled with atmospheric inversions. Conversely, monsoon months saw a substantial reduction in pollutant levels due to wet deposition and improved dispersion driven by stronger winds. Additionally, post-monsoon crop residue burning emerged as a major episodic pollution source. This study underscores the utility of Sentinel-5 products in monitoring urban air pollution and provides valuable insights for policymakers to develop targeted mitigation strategies, particularly for urban megacities like Delhi, where seasonal and source-specific interventions are crucial for reducing air pollution and its associated health risks.","PeriodicalId":11759,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Geochemistry and Health","volume":"47 5","pages":"175"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143996833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, research on its usage for humans and animals is still ongoing. Recommended doses are physiologically involved in many systems, but excess boron can be risky for living organisms and the environment. Boron moves in an endless cycle between air, water, soil, and food, and can accumulate. Concentration can rise too much, especially in areas with boron mines. This situation causes contamination in the environment and directly affects human, animal and plant health. There is a paucity of research on the residue status of boron mineral, which is extensively mined and frequently used in certain regions, notably Turkey. In our study, we sought to ascertain the effects of proximity to boron mines on boron concentration in blood, urine, water, and feed in animals. In the study, 60 (20*3) cattle living in areas 0-5, 5-15 and 15-30 km away from the boron mine site were used. Blood and urine samples were taken from cattle. Boron concentrations were determined by sampling the feed and water they consumed. The results of the analyses demonstrated that boron levels in all samples were influenced by the distance to the mine. A statistically significant decrease was observed, particularly in drinking water and blood boron levels. This situation is a major risk factor, especially for living organisms in proximity to boron and other mines. It is also recommended to establish more comprehensive studies investigating the effects of boron concentration on living organisms.","PeriodicalId":11759,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Geochemistry and Health","volume":"47 5","pages":"173"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12000215/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143974138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study employed a combination of geographic information systems, diagnostic ratios, correlation analysis, Pb isotope ratios, and positive matrix factorization (PMF) to elucidate the potential sources of 16 priority PAHs in river sediments from a hilly agricultural watershed in Southwestern China. The results indicated that PAHs concentrations ranged from 55.9 to 6083.5 ng/g, with a mean value of 1582.1 ± 1528.9 ng/g, reflecting high levels of contamination throughout the watershed. The predominant class of PAHs identified was high molecular weight (HMW) PAHs. Diagnostic ratios and correlation analysis suggested that the presence of PHAs is likely attributed primarily to emissions from industrial dust and combustion of coal and petroleum. Furthermore, correlation analysis revealed a significant association between Pb and PAHs, indicating potential shared sources for both pollutants. Additionally, Pb isotopic analysis demonstrated that aerosols may be the primary contributor to Pb accumulation within this environment. Given the similarity in origins between Pb and PAHs, it can be inferred that PAHs predominantly originate from aerosols associated with coal combustion, industrial dust emissions, and vehicle exhaust. This inference is further supported by PMF results which yielded consistent findings with those derived from Pb isotopes analysis. Moreover, PMF estimated three major sources contributing 57.63%, 23.57%, and 18.80%, respectively. These findings provide novel insights into identifying the sources of PAHs in river sediments within hilly agricultural watersheds in Southwest China, thereby establishing a scientific foundation for enhancing environmental quality in agricultural regions.","PeriodicalId":11759,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Geochemistry and Health","volume":"47 5","pages":"174"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143970769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the digested sludge-amended soil, spring barley absorbed Cu only from the immediate vicinity of the roots (<< 1 mm), but Zn was taken up from further afield (> 1 mm). In the rhizosphere Cu was predominately present as Cu(I) oxides or as Cu(II) absorbed/bonded to phosphate, whereas Zn was present as Zn(II) in inner-sphere complexes with metal oxide surfaces, as Zn(II) sulphides or Zn(II) bonded to/incorporated into carbonates. Cu taken-up by spring barley roots was largely sequestered in the root epidermis and/or cortex predominately in the coordination environments similar to those seen in the rhizosphere. Only a small proportion of the Cu was translocated into the vascular tissue (where it is in the same two bonding environments). Zn taken-up by spring barley roots was present as Zn(II) sulphides, Zn(II) absorbed to/incorporated into carbonates, or Zn(II)-organic complexes. Zn was readily translocated from roots to shoots.

The concentrations of elements were quantified by ICP-OES and ICP-MS. The distribution patterns of major and trace elements are closely linked to the geological features of the area. The major elements Fe, Ca, Al, Mg, and K exhibit the highest concentrations. The order of abundance for trace elements follows this trend: Ba, Sr, Zn, V, Cr, Cu, Rb, Ni, Pb, B, Li, Co, As, Mo, U, Sb, Se, Cd, and Bi. Regional geochemical baseline values were calculated using the UTL95 - 95 method with BCA bootstrap, demonstrating that the regional approach provides a more accurate assessment compared to European and Italian threshold values. A geostatistical approach was used to produce spatial geochemical maps, which allow the prediction of element distributions in unsampled areas. This integrated approach establishes a benchmark for more detailed studies on environmental risk assessment, providing a solid foundation for identifying and understanding natural and anthropogenic geochemical anomalies in the soils of the Sicily region.","PeriodicalId":11759,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Geochemistry and Health","volume":"47 5","pages":"167"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11993483/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143990645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
