Groundwater is one of Earth's most precious natural resources [1]. It is vital to human health and the quality and quantity of grains because it affects soils, crops, and the surrounding environment [1,2]. However, due to environmental changes andhuman activities, groundwater quality is deteriorating at an alarming rate [3]. In recent years, the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in agricultural areas hasbecome a major source of groundwater pollution, attracting considerable attention [4,5]. Since 2006, China has become the world's largest producer and consumer of fertilizers. In 2016, global fertilizer consumption was approximately 187 million tons, of which China's consumption was 59.84 million tons [6,7]. The large-scale use of chemical fertilizers,

“…The soil buildup of different poisonous metals such as Cd, Pb, Cr, and Zn can be related to the application of phosphate fertilizers (Tufail et al, 2006;Yang et al, 2015). The ongoing addition of fertilizers containing heavy metals to the soil can result in their accumulation in the soil over time (Huang et al, 2017). The heavy metals applied with fertilizers tend to accumulate in cultivated soil because heavy metals are non-degradable (Barkouch et al, 2016).…”

This study focuses on fundamental scrutiny of phosphate rock samples in order to investigate the elemental composition (Zinc, Cadmium, Lead, Sodium and Potassium) by Flame Photometry & Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. The samples have been collected from Hazara Division, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Peshawar. Relative study on heavy metal content and nutrients was performed to find out the comparative resources quality. The sample S5 exhibits highest Cadmium contents while S6 shows higher concentration of other metals. The local resources indicate higher quantity of Lead (Pb). The remedy for this excessive amount of Pb may probably be done by complete separation and disposal of waste phosphogypsum. The phosphate rocks found in the region are good enough to be utilized as raw material for fertilizer manufacturing plants.

“…Barite mining and quarrying activities have been going on in the Biase and Akampka area for more than two decades, leading to possible release of toxic heavy metals in the area. High levels of heavy metals concentration have been reported around mining district globally (Rafiei et al, 2010;Bölücek, 2007;Sun et al, 2018;Huang et al, 2017) and the health risk associated with high metal concentration on the environment has also been reported (Rahman et al, 2010;Tian, 2009;Oancea et al, 2005;Singh & Kalamdhad, 2011).…”

Geochemical investigation of the soils around quarry and barite mine sites in part of Akamkpa and Biase area of Southeastern Nigeria, was carried out to assess the concentration and enrichment levels of some heavy metals and trace elements in the soils. The investigation involved the collection of fifteen (15) soil samples between the depth of 15 -30 cm. The samples were dried at room temperature, prepared and analyzed for heavy metals using inductively couple plasma mass spectrometer. The result shows that the concentration of Co, Cr, Nb, Pb and Sn were higher than the average shale values around the quarries while Ba, Pb and Sn were higher around the barite mines. The contamination factor indicates low to minimal contamination and low to considerable contamination around the quarries and barite mines respectively. While the Enrichment factor indicates minimal to significant enrichment around the quarries and minimal to extremely high enrichments around the barite mines. The result of the factor analysis and spatial distribution of the heavy metals suggests that the metal concentration and enrichment were controlled by the rock types, weathering and anthropogenic activities around the mine sites.
