A variety of methods are used for further study, including hotspot maps, principal component analysis, self-organizing maps and structural equation models.

The proportions of various fractions of DOM demonstrated considerable variation between the rainy and dry seasons. During the rainy season, the concentration of high-excitation tyrosine in groundwater is very low. Tryptophan-like compounds were not identified in DOM during the dry season. Fulvic acid and low excitation tyrosine were strongly correlated, whereas tryptophan-like and high excitation tyrosine were significantly related. The heavy metal content and pH varied according to the distribution of sampling site wells (distance from the mine). Moreover, DOM has a significant effect on heavy metal mobility via complexation. Seasonal factors significantly influence DOM in groundwater, thus affecting its interaction with heavy metals.

However, determining the age distribution enhances understanding of the entire hydrogeological system and, indirectly, contributes to the assessment of sustainability. The objective of this research was to evaluate how a combination of age tracers can contribute to estimating groundwater age distribution in large and complex aquifer systems. The system consists of fractured Grenvillian-age (≥ 1 Ga) aquifers, locally covered by granular postglacial Holocene aquifers in valley bottoms of the mountainous and hilly Laurentides region of southern Québec Province (Eastern Canada). The age tracers used in this study, <sup>14</sup>C, <sup>3</sup>H/<sup>3</sup>He, and U–Th/<sup>4</sup>He were measured on groundwater samples collected from 32 municipal wells and one piezometer, from five watersheds. As expected, mixed idealized ages were obtained. The <sup>3</sup>H/<sup>3</sup>He ages varied from modern to 64 years. The <sup>14</sup>C-corrected ages generally ranged from “modern” to 6500 years old. The U–Th/<sup>4</sup>He-computed ages were close to the <sup>14</sup>C ages but were strongly dependent on local aquifer conditions, primarily on U and Th contents and porosity. Three “activity indexes” – A<sup>4</sup>He, A<sup>3</sup>H, and A<sup>14</sup>C representing groundwater aging recorded a common temporal evolution of groundwater, with increasing ages from the southernmost, more populated areas to the less populated areas in the northern portion of the study area. Lumped parameter models applied to <sup>3</sup>H–<sup>14</sup>C and to radiogenic <sup>4</sup>He–<sup>14</sup>C showed that the aquifers contain a mixture of “modern” and “pre-industrial” water (200–14,000 yrs), and possibly Late Pleistocene water (10–30 ka) in some confined areas.

The present study focuses on historical mercury (Hg) contamination at two decommissioned industrial sites (an e-waste dismantling site and a pyrite smelting site), and employed Hg isotope analysis to investigate the sources, pollution pathways, subsurface migration in soils, and uptake of Hg by leafy vegetables. Topsoils at both sites showed substantially elevated Hg concentrations (2.5–32.1 mg kg<sup>−1</sup>), primarily derived from direct waste discharges during production.

Soil organic matter was identified as the key factor driving subsurface Hg accumulation at this site. In contrast, the pyrite smelting site exhibited a different contamination mechanism: acidic wastewater leaching altered soil pH, and under low pH conditions, strongly bound Hg was remobilized, leading to Hg pollution in deeper soil layers (down to ∼500 cm depth). These findings reveal distinct environmental risks from direct emission and legacy Hg re-emission across different types of abandoned industrial sites, highlighting the need for site-specific management and remediation strategies to mitigate soil and agricultural Hg contamination.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8064,"journal":{"name":"Applied Geochemistry","volume":"199 ","pages":"Article 106714"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146171461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Spatial and temporal variability was pronounced. V occurred at the highest concentrations, with hemiboreal headwaters averaging ∼78 μg/L compared to ∼8 μg/L for Mo and ∼0.2 μg/L for W. These concentrations exceeded those in boreal headwaters and rivers by factors of up to 300, reflecting enhanced weathering under milder hemiboreal conditions. Partitioning differed strongly among elements: Mo was predominantly dissolved, W occurred in both dissolved and particulate fractions, and V shifted from dominantly dissolved in hemiboreal streams to nearly equal distribution in boreal waters.
