Lead, Zn, and Cd in slags, stream sediments, and soils in an abandoned Zn smelting region, southwest of China, and Pb and S isotopes as source tracers

Lead, Zn, and Cd in slags, stream sediments, and soils in an abandoned Zn smelting region,... Smelting activities result in great enrichments of Pb, Zn, and Cd in surveyed soils and sediment. Mobile fraction of these metals was controlled by land use type as well as soil pH, which is informative for land use management to prevent toxic substance from potentially menacing human health. Bean cultivation and low pH can result in more Cd of mobile fraction in soils, therefore, alternative cultivation and pH elevation are recommended for the studied region. This would help reduce the remobilization and uptake of Cd from the polluted soils. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Soils and Sediments Springer Journals

Abstract

Smelting activities result in great enrichments of Pb, Zn, and Cd in surveyed soils and sediment. Mobile fraction of these metals was controlled by land use type as well as soil pH, which is informative for land use management to prevent toxic substance from potentially menacing human health. Bean cultivation and low pH can result in more Cd of mobile fraction in soils, therefore, alternative cultivation and pH elevation are recommended for the studied region. This would help reduce the remobilization and uptake of Cd from the polluted soils.
