Analysis and Assessment on the Heavy Metals in a Severely Degraded Subtropical Red Soil Region

5 different forests of Pinus massoniana, Schima superba, Liquidambar formosana, P. massoniana × S. superba, P. massoniana × L. formosana as the research object were set up to study the Cr, Cu and Zn content of degraded red soil region in subtropics. The soil heavy metal pollution degree was evaluated by national environmental quality standard (II class). The results showed that three soil metals of P. massoniana × S. superba were the highest, and the soil metals enrichment ability was strong. The order of single factor pollution index of metal elements was Cu (1.38) > Cr (0.81) > Zn (0.42), and moderately pollution, pollution warning and no pollution, respectively. There was no significant correlation between three soil heavy metals and soil total carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP). These results suggested that the accumulation of heavy metal elements was not derived from the parent material of soil. There was a significant positive correlation between the three metal elements which indicated that the sources of the three elements were similar. The structural equation model showed that the direct and indirect effects among the influencing factors ultimately affected the activity of heavy metals by cascade effects.

Evaluation on Ecological Risks of Soil Heavy Metals in a Certain Area of Sichuan by Improved Fuzzy Mathematics Method

Taking a certain area in Sichuan Province as the object of this study, this paper adopts fuzzy mathematics method to make an evaluation on ecological risks of heavy metal in soil of this area. On calculation of factors’ weights, the traditional method of giving weight according to pollutants’ concentrations fails to consider the toxicity of heavy metals, and can’t reflect their actual ecological effect. With reference to the toxicity coefficient in potential ecological risk index evaluation, this article revises the traditional fuzzy mathematics evaluation model and puts forward a new method to calculate factors’ weight by incorporating toxicity levels in weight setting. The results of this study indicate: surface soil of this area was good in general, with 91.2% samples belonging to the first level, 7.77% samples belonging to the second level, and only 1.03% belonging to the third level. Compared with the results of the evaluation method of the reality content of soil, soil quality is better than the results of the quantitative evaluation, and is closer to the actual local conditions.

Remediation Effects of Soil Conditioners for CdPolluted Paddy Fields

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the remediation effects of 14 soil conditioners for Cd-polluted paddy fields contrasted with conventional fertilization and liming.The results showed that soil conditioners had no significant impact on rice yields.Though the soil conditioners had stable effects on decreasing the Cd content in grains,the effects varied with the category of conditioners.In general,The Cd contents of early rice and late rice were reduced by 22.65%~44.24%and 15.20%~63.03%,respectively.Additionally,the stem and leaves showed the same decreasing tendency.Cluster analysis suggested that soil conditioners can be divided into three categories:the first category increases the soil pH to inhibit the Cd activity and cut down the Cd translocation from soil to stem and leaves,which is most efficient in the reduction of Cd content in rice grains;the other category relies on the antagonism or co-precipitation between Cd and certain elements to inhibit the translocation and redistribution of Cd from rice stems to grains,providing a common effect on Cd reduction;the last category can be seen as a combination of the former two categories from the perspective of its functional mechanism and it has a moderate effect on the reduction of Cd contents in rice grains.

Derivation of soil Pb/Cd/As thresholds for safety of vegetable planting: A case study for pakchoi in Guangdong Province,China

Regional guidelines for soil heavy metals,in conjunction with specific crops,are proposed to better assess soil environmental quality.In this study,large amounts of soils with different levels of Pb/Cd/As pollution were collected in Guangdong Province,China,to carry out a pot experiment,which was closer to the actual situation and properties of the heavy metal contaminated soils.Taking the widely planted vegetable pakchoi as the research object,we analyzed the correlations between the Pb/Cd/As concentrations in pakchoi and the total or available soil Pb/Cd/As concentrations and established their optimal regression equations.And then,the total and available soil Pb/Cd/As thresholds for pakchoi were calculated according to the allowable Pb/Cd/As limits in pakchoi and were compared with the current soil assessment standards.Furthermore,a lot of paired vegetable-soil samples in field were collected and their pollution situations were assessed by both the current limit thresholds and the calculated thresholds.Obviously,it was more consistent to assess the Cd and As pollution situation of the vegetable and soil samples with the calculated soil thresholds than the current soil assessment thresholds.It further proved that it was necessary to explore the soil heavy metal thresholds for safety of vegetable in specific regions,which would be more scientific and practical to guide safety production of local agricultural products and effective utilization of soil resources.

Soil Pollution along Kalwa Bridge at Thane Creek of Maharashtra, India

The present investigation deals with the assessment of pollution status along the wetland of Thane Creek, which has been subjected to a lot of pollution from the Asia’s biggest Thane—Belapur Industrial Complex located at the south of Mumbai harbor along the west coast of India. This paper advocates habitat conservation and ecological studies with special reference to the physico-chemical characteristics and heavy metal pollution in the soil along the creek area. In the present investigation, the pH, electrical conductivity, bulk density, alkalinity and chlorinity values recorded were observed to be high during dry seasons and low during rainy season. The soil samples were also analyzed for their heavy metal contents like nickel, zinc, cadmium, copper, iron, arsenic and mercury. It was observed that, the concentration of these heavy metals increases gradually in dry seasons, followed by sharp decrease during rainy season. These heavy metals have a marked effect on the aquatic flora and fauna which through bio magnification enter the food chain and ultimately affect the human beings as well. The present experimental data on heavy metal pollution in soil samples collected along Kalwa bridge of Thane Creek points out to the need of regular monitoring of water resources and further improvement in the industrial waste water treatment methods. If the present conditions continue for a long period, the creek may soon become ecologically inactive.

耕作措施与有机肥施用对旱地麦田土壤重金属污染特征的影响

农田土壤重金属污染是当前突出的环境污染问题之一。为揭示不同耕作措施与长期施用有机肥对土壤重金属积累的影响及其生态效应,本研究以始于2007年的旱地小麦长期定位耕作与施肥试验为基础,分析了深翻+化肥(T)、深翻+鸡粪+化肥(TM)、免耕+化肥(NT)、免耕+鸡粪+化肥(NTM)4种处理对旱地小麦0~20 cm土壤pH、电导率(EC)、有机质和全氮含量以及Pb、Cd、As、Hg、Cr、Cu、Zn和Ni等重金属含量的影响,并通过地累积指数法和潜在生态风险指数法对土壤重金属污染状况及生态风险进行评价。结果表明:与T处理相比,TM、NT和NTM处理土壤pH显著降低1.10%~2.56%,电导率提高6.19%~57.08%;NTM处理下土壤有机质含量较T处理显著提高33.22%。施鸡粪显著影响土壤重金属含量,其中TM和NTM处理土壤总Hg含量较T处理分别显著提高123.60%和150.56%,有效态Cu、Zn和Cd含量分别显著增加16.89%~23.48%、219.04%~520.99%和2.90%~20.29%。耕作方式同样显著影响各土壤重金属含量,NTM处理下总Hg、总Zn、有效Cu、有效Zn、有效Cd含量较TM处理分别显著提高12.06%、8.11%、5.64%、94.65%和16.90%,总Pb、有效Pb和总Cr含量分别显著降低63.74%、70.00%和3.14%。4个处理Hg的潜在生态风险指数最高,表现为T(32.36)<NT(41.45)<TM(72.36)<NTM(81.09),其他重金属为轻微级别;综合潜在生态风险污染指数表现为T(79.05)<NT(82.33)<TM(115.27)<NTM(120.00),为轻度风险级别。综上,长期免耕和鸡粪施用能够显著降低土壤pH,增加电导率及全氮和有机质含量,并提高Cu、Zn和Cd的有效性;其中,鸡粪处理中Hg的潜在生态风险指数为中等-强级别,其他重金属为轻微级别,综合潜在生态风险污染指数为轻度风险级别,因此在农业生产过程中应加强有机肥的安全施用技术。

江西于都南部地区土壤重金属元素生态地球化学特征及其来源解析

为研究江西于都南部地区耕地土壤重金属污染状况,对所采集的表层土壤样品进行Cr、Ni、Cu、Zn、Cd、Pb、As、Hg等重金属元素测试,研究其空间分布特征,并采用多种评价模型开展生态评价。结果表明,Cr、Ni、Cu、Zn、Cd、Pb、As、Hg含量分别是于都县土壤背景值的1.18、1.24、1.69、1.41、5.79、1.25、2.27、1.41倍。单因子污染指数显示As、Cd污染最严重,是潜在生态风险最主要的贡献因子。内梅罗综合污染指数显示重金属超标率达20.7%。地累积指数显示As污染最严重,其次是Hg、Ni、Cd。8种重金属元素变异系数均为0.45~5.14,属强变异。相关性分析显示,除Hg外的其他重金属间相关性均较强,而且与pH存在显著或极显著正相关,因此可以通过调节土壤pH值,降低土壤中重金属元素的毒性。主成分分析结果显示,Cu、Zn、Cd、Pb、As主要来源于人为采矿活动,Cr、Ni主要来源于土壤母质。

重金属地质高背景区土壤Se的地球化学特征及富Se耕地综合评价

为了合理保护和利用富Se耕地资源,为重金属地质高背景区富Se农产品的安全开发提供科学依据,以重庆市黔江区白土乡为例,采集74份耕地土壤(0~20 cm)及水稻籽实样品,分析稻谷及土壤中Se和重金属(Cd、Hg、Pb、As、Cr、Cu、Zn和Ni)含量,同时分析土壤中养分元素及氧化物含量,研究土壤及稻谷中各元素的地球化学特征,并开展富Se耕地综合评价。结果显示,研究区土壤环境综合质量等级以三等(轻度污染)和四等(中度污染)为主,面积占比分别为41.65%和50.71%,污染因子为Cd。土壤Se平均含量为0.91 mg·kg^(-1),含量介于0.4~3.0 mg·kg^(-1)之间的点位占比为97.29%,土壤Se资源丰富。研究区耕地土壤总体养分条件良好,但部分区域存在单元素缺乏问题,以K缺乏最为显著。耕地土壤重金属和Se含量主要与灰岩、炭质页岩(夹煤线)的风化成土有关。此外,农业活动会造成耕地土壤Cd和As的输入。研究区糙米富Se率为100%,糙米Cd超标率为7.4%,土壤pH值是影响稻谷吸收土壤Cd和Se的主控因素,中碱性条件有利于水稻富集Se而抑制其对Cd的吸收。研究区富Se耕地综合等级以二等为主,面积占比为95.68%,适宜开展富Se资源开发利用。可根据各耕地地块单项指标得分情况,通过养分元素补充、土壤酸碱度调节等措施,趋利避害利用土壤富Se资源,对部分不适宜开展富Se资源开发利用的耕地,可进行种植结构调整。

AMF和PGPR联合芦苇修复重金属污染河道底泥的效应

研究旨在探究河道底泥重金属污染下丛枝菌根真菌(Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi,AMF)与植物根际促生菌(Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria,PGPR)对芦苇生长、磷吸收以及重金属去除的效应。以沈阳市浑河河道底泥为研究对象,对芦苇接种AMF双网无梗囊霉(Acaulospora bireticulata,AM1)、摩西斗管囊霉(Funneliformis mosseae,AM2)、PGPR黏质沙雷氏菌(Serratia marcescens,PG)、双网无梗囊霉+黏质沙雷氏菌(APG1)、摩西斗管囊霉+黏质沙雷氏菌(APG2)和不接种对照(CK)共6个处理。结果显示,AMF能够促进PGPR在芦苇根区土壤以及根内的定殖数量,而PGPR能够促进AMF侵染发育,增加其侵染率、泡囊数以及孢子数。AMF、PGPR或AMF+PGPR处理均显著增加了芦苇生物量以及地上部和根系磷质量比,促进了植物对底泥中重金属(Cd、Zn、Pb、Cu)的吸收,降低了土壤中重金属含量。在各处理下,APG2处理对底泥中重金属的去除率最高,达33.24%~55.51%,土壤中过氧化氢酶、蔗糖酶、脲酶和碱性磷酸酶活性也显著高于AM1、AM2、PG和CK处理。此外,底泥重金属在芦苇内的分布均为根系大于地上部,可见芦苇根系对重金属的吸收和富集能力较强,且以APG2处理下对Cd、Zn、Pb的吸收效果最好,分别是CK处理的2.4倍、2.0倍以及1.7倍。因此,AMF和PGPR双接种可提高芦苇P吸收量以及土壤酶活性,促进芦苇生长,而AMF和PGPR能够相互促进,增加对底泥重金属的去除效率,其中APG2是最佳组合。

干旱区绿洲农田土壤重金属含量高光谱反演

对新疆渭库绿洲土壤样本的As、Hg、Pb、Cr、Zn和Cu共6种重金属含量与高光谱关系进行分析,基于逐步回归方法筛选出特征波段,采用地理加权回归(GWR)和普通最小二乘法回归(OLS)构建土壤重金属的高光谱反演模型.结果显示:1)研究区的6种重金属元素含量存在一定的差异,土壤中的平均重金属含量依次为Zn>Pb>Cr>Cu>As>Hg,均未超过国家土壤背景值.研究区的Pb平均含量高于当地(新疆)土壤背景值,即研究区表土层中的Pb元素明显富集;2)不同的光谱变换使土壤重金属的光谱特征均得到了增强,但强度有所差异,经过二阶微分变换(SD)和一阶立方根微分变换(CRFD)的土壤光谱相对于原始光谱增强最显著;3)从模型验证来看,在反演6个土壤重金属元素含量时,GWR的R^(2)高于OLS,其中Zn的R^(2)接近0.8,Cu的R^(2)接近0.6,表明模型有一定预测能力,而As、Hg、Pb和Cr的R^(2)均依然低于0.5,模型预测能力并不理想;4)两种模型预测的6种土壤重金属含量的空间分布表现出一定的空间差异性.其中,As元素空间分布差异在这两种预测模型中最大,而其余5种重金属元素Hg、Pb、Cr、Zn和Cu的分布则较为均匀.通过高光谱反射率估算土壤重金属元素含量,实现了干旱区绿洲农田土壤重金属元素含量的高效快速反演,为干旱区绿洲农田土壤重金属元素含量动态监测提供了可靠的技术支撑.
