“…In this study, diagnostic ratios were used to analyze the source profile according to a recent study, 40 including the proportion of anthracene to anthracene adding phenanthrene (Ant/(Ant+Phe)), fluoranthene to fluoranthene adding pyrene (Fla/(Fla+Pyr)), benzo[ a ]anthracene to benzo[ a ]anthracene adding chrysene (BaA/(BaA+Chr)), and indeno[1,2,3- cd ]pyrene to indeno[1,2,3- cd ]pyrene adding benzo[g,h,i]perylene (Ind/(Ind+BghiP)). Additionally, the positive matrix factorization (PMF) model was adopted to identify the sources of PAHs in seawater and sediment based on our previously published research 41 (see details in ESI page S9†).…”

“…Our ecological risk assessment aimed to evaluate and characterize risk posed by an actuator of environmental stressors (e.g., physical, biological, and chemical pollutants, introduction or infestation of invasive alien species, effects from forestry and land use, waterborne diseases, and global climate change) towards aquatic organisms [27,46].…”

The application of coal ash (CA) in construction industries has grown rapidly, posing risk to the environment due to heavy metals leaching from the material. This research presents a simulation of ecological risk assessment and model risk indicators (ERI) of leached heavy metals (lead (Pb), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and arsenic (As)) from CA (FA: fly ash and BA: bottom ash) via response surface methodology (RSM). The ERI values were based on quantified leached heavy metals from the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP-1311) and synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP-1312). The ecological risk index (RI ) values for TCLP were 10.27 × 100 (FA), 9.91 × 100 (BA) and 12.58 × 100 (FA + BA); whereas RI for SPLP were 10.34 × 100 (FA), 9.90 × 100 (BA) and 12.61 × 100 (FA + BA). Twenty-nine combinations of operations were evaluated based on Box-Behnken design with ERI as the response variable. The established model risk indicator (i.e., coded and actual factors) of Pb, Cu, Zn and ‘As’ showed significant model terms that describe their relationship very well, perfectly fit to the corresponding ERI (sum of squares = 0.4160, F value = 682,375.55) with probability of 0.01% for an F-value could occur due to noise. The optimized models were validated with error percentage of less than 5%. The established ERI models showed significant model terms and will be useful for ecological monitoring of CA application in construction industries.

“…In some studies, the biological/environmental impact of metals has been evaluated (Cheng, 2003; Šmejkalová et al, 2003; Jacob et al, 2018). Some studies were also conducted to identify the PAHs in soil in contaminated areas (Abd Manan et al, 2021; Meng et al, 2019; Ni et al, 2021). According to previous studies, there is a lack of correlation between the accumulation of PAHs and metals (Yang et al, 2019).…”

Metal and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination severely influences the carbon storage potential of the biosphere. This study was conducted to investigate the changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) under metal and PAH contamination in the industrial area of Shiraz, Iran, over a period of 5 years. Canonical correspondence analysis and linear correlation analysis were performed to identify the relationship between metals, PAHs, vegetation and SOC. The results showed that both metals and PAHs significantly reduced SOC (p < 0.001). Metals played a more important role in SOC changes than PAHs by changing the vegetation characteristics. Increasing concentrations of ∑PAH (R2 = 0.33), phenanthrene (R2 = 0.36) and naphthalene (R2 = 0.42) were directly related to decreasing SOC. Additionally, the metals copper (Cu), lead (Pb), strontium (Sr), vanadium (V), chromium (Cr) and zinc (Zn) with the highest enrichment factor (EF; i.e. Pb = 5.42) had a negative correlation with SOC (R2 = 0.77). In general, metal contamination was more visible than PAH contamination and severely reduced the SOC. Overall, the management and filtration of polluting sources can prevent vegetation decline from reducing the SOC.
