“…Moreover, as Mn oxides are important for retention of Cd and Pb, rain simulation studies performed with contaminated soil have shown important redistribution of both metals, where significant leaching of Pb from the easily reducible fraction was observed in contrast with Cd (Ash et al 2015). Our results have confirmed the outcomes of some other studies emphasizing the importance of Fe oxides for Pb retention in soils (KrasnodebskaOstrega et al 2001, Arenas-Lago et al 2014.…”

Retention of four selected risk elements (SRE) – arsen (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) – by manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe) oxides in different forest soils was investigated. The abundance of oxides and the association between oxides and SRE were observed in 91 soil samples of different forests divided into 5 categories covering the variability of forests in the Czech Republic. The sequential extraction procedure was used for dissolution of Mn and Fe oxide fractions (MnOF and FeOF) separately and together with the associated elements. It was found that Mn associated with MnOF is significantly higher in deciduous forests. These differences were ascribed mainly to the higher pH and lower DOC (dissolved organic carbon) in deciduous forests. The association of SRE with MnOF declines in the order Cd » Pb › Zn › As and the association with FeOF in the order As ≈ Pb » Cd › Zn. Despite their relatively lesser occurrence, MnOFs were found to be very significant for retention of Cd. FeOF is strongly associated with As and Pb. The category of forest has been identified to influence the amount of SRE retained by oxides especially in two cases: (1) the category of forests on Fluvisols differs from the other categories; (2) the retention of Cd by MnOF or FeOF is larger in deciduous forests compared with coniferous forests.

“…The Zn rel is distributed uniformly among MnOF and FeOF in the case of the decid, mixed and mount categories of hor2, which is accordance with Arenas-Lago et al (2014). However, FeOF stored significantly more Zn rel for conif and flu in hor2.…”

“…Similarly, from this investigation, it was also evidence that the concentration of Zn, As, Co, Cu, Se and V were all lower than their respective average shale values, background values and TEL-PEL (threshold effect level-probable effect level) and ERL-ERM (effect range low-effect range median) values. However, when these heavy metals in the studied quarry site were compared with other cities around the world (Arenas-Lago et al, 2014;Lago-Vila et al, 2017;Weissmannova et al, 2019), there were variations in their concentrations. For example, in the serpentinite quarry soils in the old Penas Albas quarry site, Moeche, NW Spain high Cr and Ni and moderate Co contamination were observed (Lago-Vila et al, 2017. This variation maybe attributed to various factors such as a high population, unregulated waste burning, unplanned construction, emissions from nearby industrial areas, sewage waste.…”

This study evaluates the environmental risks of quarrying activities in the Marksino Concession area, Akampka, with a focus on heavy metal contamination of the soil. Soil samples were collected at various distances from the quarry site and analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS; PG990) to determine concentrations of lead, chromium, copper, cadmium, cobalt, nickel, arsenic, and zinc. Pollution indices and ecological risk factors were calculated, along with hazard quotients and indices for non-carcinogenic impacts on children and adults. Results indicate that contamination values for all metals were below one, suggesting no significant impact at the sampling points. The geo-accumulation index values also indicated no significant impact for all metals. Furthermore, hazard quotient (HQ) and hazard index (HI) values for all metals were below the permissible value of 1, indicating non-carcinogenic risks for residents. However, children showed higher HI values compared to adults, emphasizing the need for targeted measures to protect this vulnerable group. Continuous monitoring and mitigation efforts are crucial for sustainable quarrying activities and prevention of environmental hazards in the Marksino Concession area.

“…[32][33][34] Therefore, the sulfur and oxygen isotope ratio of sulfate combined with their physical and chemical properties could be useful to identify bacterial reduction processes. Even though there has been a great deal of work focused on the species distribution, migration and transformation in the water of AMD-affected river, [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] less attention has been paid to identify the source of sulfate. Thus, by means of characterizing water and sediments from Hengshi River affected by the AMD, the major objectives of this study are: (1) to identify the sources of dissolved sulfate; (2) to evaluate the processes that control spatial variation of concentrations and isotope compositions of dissolve SO 4…”
