“…The total amount of Pb, Cd and Zn in slag heap is higher than that in other plots, but the content of Mn is low, which may be related to the low content of loam and clay in slag heap and high pH (Lu et al, 2022). Soil contaminated by heavy metals has various adverse effects on plant growth, such as the reduction of plant nutrients, toxic concentration of heavy metals, salinity and alkalinity (Wu et al, 2023). Despite being contaminated by heavy metals, different plant species have achieved their adaptation through microevolutionary processes (Buch et al, 2020), which are determined by specific cellular mechanisms, including limiting and/or excluding free radical absorption of heavy metals, fixing heavy metals in the external environment through free radical exudates (Elizabeth et al, 2020), chelating ions in the epidermis, vacuoles and trichomes, and transferring heavy metals through xylem to branches (Singh et al, 2020).…”

“…Abandoned land in mining areas refers to the land that has been destroyed in mining, transportation, smelting and other mining processes and cannot exert normal ecological functions without restoration (Saavedra-Mella et al, 2022). Abandoned land, tailings and waste residues often remain after mining, causing serious soil pollution, water pollution and air pollution (Wu et al, 2023), posing a major threat to human health and environmental safety (Briffa et al, 2020). Therefore, the restoration and stabilization of mining wasteland has become one of the environmental issues of global concern.…”

“…The generation of Hg 2+ ions in coastal seawater is influenced by various sources, including shipbuilding and shipping operations, domestic and industrial wastewater discharges, as well as estuaries. 2 These activities contribute to the release of Hg 2+ ions into the marine environment, increasing the pollution levels in coastal seawater. The presence of Hg 2+ ions in coastal seawater poses a significant and imminent threat to both marine ecosystems and human health.…”

“…Indeed, coastal waters are particularly vulnerable to the generation of Hg 2+ ions due to the ongoing expansion of the aquaculture industry and frequent shipping activities. The generation of Hg 2+ ions in coastal seawater is influenced by various sources, including shipbuilding and shipping operations, domestic and industrial wastewater discharges, as well as estuaries . These activities contribute to the release of Hg 2+ ions into the marine environment, increasing the pollution levels in coastal seawater.…”

“…For example, the excessive accumulation of HMs can impede plant growth and decrease land productivity [6]. Exposure to HMs through ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact can result in both non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks due to the potential damage that HMs can cause to humans' internal organs and nervous systems [7]. Therefore, controlling the risk of soil HMs is essential for human health and sustainable socioeconomic development.…”
