This study aims to reveal the current status of the soil quality of the abandoned gold mining district of Bindiba and provide a scientific basis for its future remediation and overall management. 89 soil samples were systematically collected and characterized in order to determine the concentration of TMs (Cr, Ni, Cu, As, Pb and Sb). To assess the degree of metallic contamination, pollution indices were employed. Both multivariate statistical analysis (MSA) and geostatistical modelling (GM) were used to identify the potential sources of TMs elements and to determine the values of the modified contamination degree (mCd), the Nemerow Pollution Index (NPI) and the potential ecological risk index (RI) at un-sampled points. The results of trace metals (TMEs) characterization showed that the concentration of Cr, Ni, Cu, As, Pb and Sb ranged from 22.15–442.44 mg/kg, 9.25–360.37 mg/kg, 1.28–320.86 mg/kg, 0–46.58 mg/kg, 0–53.27 mg/kg and 0–6.33 mg/kg, respectively. The mean concentration of Cr, Cu and Ni exceeds the continental geochemical background values. The Enrichment Factor (EF) assessment indicates two categories of enrichment: moderately to extremely enrichment for Cr, Ni, and Cu and deficiency to minimal enrichment of Pb, As and Sb. Multivariate statistical analysis shows weak linear correlations between the studied heavy metals and suggests that these metals could not come from the same origins. The geostatistical modelling based on the values of mCd, NI and RI suggests a potential high pollution risk existed in the study area. The mCd, NPI and RI interpolation maps showed that the Northern part of the gold mining district was characterized by a high degree of contamination, heavy pollution, and considerable ecological risk. The dispersion of TMs in soils could mainly be attributed to anthropogenic activities and natural phenomena (chemical weathering or erosion). Appropriate measures should be taken to manage and remediate the TMs pollution in this abandoned gold mining district in order to reduce its negative effects on the environment and health of the local population.</p></div></div>","PeriodicalId":628,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Health Science and Engineering","volume":"21 1","pages":"143 - 155"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s40201-023-00849-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4890355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

The results showed that changing the fuel from natural gas in 2014 to coal mixed with alternative fuels (Tire-Derived Fuel (TDF), Dried Sewage Sludge (DSS), and Refuse Derived Fuels (RDF)) in 2015–2020 caused fluctuating variations in pollutant emissions and concentrations. The highest and lowest maximum concentrations of TSP occurred in 2017 and 2014 respectively, where the TSP is positively correlated with coal, RDF, and DSS and negatively correlated with natural gas, diesel, and TDF. Also, the lowest and highest maximum NO<sub>2</sub> concentrations were detected in 2020 and 2016 followed by 2017 respectively, where NO<sub>2</sub> is positively correlated with DSS and negatively correlated with TDF and varies with diesel, coal, and RDF. Moreover, the maximum concentrations of SO<sub>2</sub> were the lowest in 2018 and highest in 2016 followed by 2017 because of its considerable positive correlation with natural gas and DSS and negative correlation with RDF, TDF, and coal. Generally, it was found that increasing the percentage of TDF and RDF with decreasing the percentage of DSS, diesel, and coal will reduce pollutant emissions and concentrations and enhance ambient air quality.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":628,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Health Science and Engineering","volume":"21 1","pages":"107 - 121"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s40201-022-00844-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"5161575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}
