“…Sediments were digested by a mixed acid (HNO 3 -HCl-HF-HClO 4 ) for total metal determination (Jaworska et al, 2020). Total Cu and Zn contents in the digested extracts were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (PinAAcle 900, Perkin-Elmer), while total Pb, Cd, Cr, Co, and Ni in the digested extracts were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (Agilent 8800 ICP-MS, Agilent Technologies).…”

Integrated source apportionment and risk assessment of metals is of great importance for contamination source control and remediation at the regional watershed scale. To identify metal sources and source-specific ecological risks, sediments were collected in the Wen-Rui Tang urban watershed for metal analysis. Risk assessment showed considerable and extremely high risk for Cu and Cd with large spatial variation. Positive matrix factorization model extracted three main sources with reasonable prediction efficacy for metal concentrations. Due to different toxicity coefficients for various metals, the low concentration contribution of source factor 2 (27.2%) contributed 83.7% of total risk, while a high concentration loading for factor 3 (40.8%) only contributed 4.6% to total risk. Predicted source-specific risk was similar to determined risk level for Cr, Ni and Pb; however, Cu and Cd were predicted with decreased risk, while Zn had increased risk. Triangular fuzzy number (TFN) coupled with stochastic simulation showed elevated trend in risk simulation for Cd and Cu when compared with determined risk. The uncertainties for risk evaluation appear to result from spatial variations in metal concentrations. Source apportionment and specific-risk assessment results suggest that different strategies may be required to address mitigation of elevated metal concentrations versus ecological risk.

The role of soil invertebrates in the cycle of substances, soil-forming processes and the provision of ecosystem services is undeniable. Therefore, soil invertebrates are valuable in bioindication studies. Comprehensive research of soil invertebrates in the production area of Mondi Syktyvkar JSC as the largest pulp and paper enterprise in the European part of Russia was initiated in 2003. A huge amount of data about composition, abundance and structure of soil macro- and mesofauna along an impact gradient was accumulated during the period from 2003 to 2019 years. These data can be used to study local biodiversity, monitor the state of soil invertebrate communities and assess the impact of the pulp and paper industry on the environment. Datasets here presented include information from a monitoring programme for soil invertebrates that inhabit coniferous forests in the production area of Mondi Syktyvkar JSC (Komi Republic). The assemblages' structure of macrofauna, collembolans and nematodes are described. Information on the number of individuals of springtail species, nematodes genera and macrofauna taxa is given. A total of 11146 sampling events of macrofauna, 6673 sampling events of Collembola, and 2592 sampling events of Nematoda are recorded along a gradient of air pollution from pulp and paper industry emissions.
