Chemical speciation and health risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in playground soil of bell metal commercial town of Eastern India.
Contaminated playground soils can expose players to harmful pollutants, increasing the risk of respiratory, skin, and gastrointestinal issues and potentially impacting long-term health and development. This study investigated the chemical forms and the human health risks associated with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) found in playground soil samples from Khagra, a historic town known for its bell metal industry, located in the Murshidabad district of eastern India. Sequential extraction techniques were employed to analyze the distribution of PTEs such as As, Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Pb, Ni, Sn, and Zn among different fractions: exchangeable (F1), bound to carbonate phase (F2), bound to iron and manganese oxides (F3), bound to organic matter (F4), and residual (F5). The playground soil showed the highest contamination with Sn, with an IPOLL value of 3.14, indicating moderate to heavy contamination, while Cd, Cu, Mn, Pb, and Zn exhibit moderate contamination. The mean concentration of PTEs in all fractions (F1-F5) follows the order: Fe > Zn > Cu > Mn > Pb > Sn > Ni > Co > As > Cd. The maximum affinity of PTEs and their percentages are as follows: Fe (F5, 80.6%), As (F5, 55.31%), Cd (F5, 48.8), Co (F5, 64.9%), Mn (F3, 44%), Ni (F5, 53.2%), Pb (F3, 44.7%), Zn (F3, -43.19%), Sn (F3, 55%), Cu (F5 -42.18). As, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, and Ni have a high affinity for F5, indicating geogenic source, while Mn, Pb, Sn, and Zn have a high affinity for F3, indicating anthropogenic source. Fe-Mn oxide partition was dominant for nearly all PTEs due to elevated sorption of cations onto Fe-Mn oxides at high pH. The risk assessment code for Cd, Cu, Mn, Ni, Sn, and Zn in playground soil is categorized under moderate risk, below 30%, while other elements showed no risk.

This study uniquely assesses the chemical speciation of PTEs in playground soils, revealing their geogenic and anthropogenic sources, and evaluates associated health risks.

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.
