“…With the exception of the heavy metals Cd and Hg, all the other eight metals are classified as low ecological risk, and the average E r values in descending order are Hg>Cd>As>Cu>Ni>Pb>Sn>Cr>Zn>Mn. This order is in general accordance with the ecological risk values ranking of heavy metals in Turkey by Fural [38]. The range of E r values for Cd is 30-108, spanning three classes of low ecological risk, moderate ecological risk and considerable ecological risk, with respective percentages of 8.7%, 78.3% and 13.0%.…”

To investigate the impact of industrial activities on the environmental accumulation and the health risks to humans of heavy metals in urban soils, the cultivated soil samples around different industrial areas were collected and analyzed. The heavy metal concentrations in the soil samples were in the decreasing order Mn>Zn>Cr>Ni>Cu>Pb>As>Sn>Cd>Hg, and the average concentrations of all heavy metals exceeding the corresponding background values. In addition to Cd and Hg, all the other eight metals were classified as low ecological risk; Cd had low, moderate, and considerable ecological risk and Hg were in low, high, and very high ecological risk. The proportion of RI in the four ecological risk levels of low risk, moderate risk, considerable risk and high risk were 69.6%, 13%, 8.7% and 8.7%, respectively. All Mn and some Cr pose non-carcinogenic risk to children primarily through inhalation exposure. Carcinogenic risk is Cr>Ni>As>Pb>Cd, and the exposure route is mainly by ingestion. For children, Cr, Ni and As were high carcinogenic risk and Pb, Cd were acceptable carcinogenic risk; for adults, Cr and Ni were high risk, As was acceptable risk, and Pb and Cd were no risk. The results of the APCS-MLR receptor model showed that the percentages of vehicle emission sources, coal transport industrial sources, coal-fired power plant sources and natural sources were 27.8%, 25.2%, 8.7% and 38.3%, respectively.

“…Global academic research on ecological risk is mainly divided into environmental science (Min et al, 2013;Xu Q. et al, 2021), Ecology (Wenning, 2011), Public Environmental Health (Charabi et al, 2018), Zoology (Flores-Serrano et al, 2014), Toxicology (Fural et al, 2021) and Biodiversity Conservation (Nawrocki et al, 2019) and other directions. As far as the study area is concerned, it is mainly the river basin (Zhu et al, 2022), wetlands (Malekmohammadi and Blouchi, 2014;Li et al, 2020), desert oasis (Han et al, 2022) and other key ecological protection areas and heavy metal industrial areas such as industrial and mining wasteland (Peng et al, 2016).…”

Introduction: In recent years, Laos, with its unique geographical advantages, has vigorously developed overseas trade and cultural tourism industry, which has promoted local economic development and introduced numerous ecological and environmental problems.Method: Therefore, this research took Savan District as the research area, built the landscape ecological risk assessment model to reveal the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of Savan District’s ecological risk from 2000 to 2020. Then, the Geodetector model was utilized to explain the driving forces behind changes in the landscape’s ecological risk. Finally, the Markov-PLUS coupling model was used to simulate and predict the changes in the land use pattern and ecological risk in the Savan District in 2030.Results: The following results are presented. 1) The landscape types in Savan District are mainly cultivated land and forest land, with the lowest degree of landscape fragmentation and loss, and the highest degree of landscape loss in unused land. 2) From 2000 to 2020, the average ecological risk index of the whole study area was low and showed a decreasing trend yearly, with the area of low-risk areas accounting for more than 90%. 3) In 2030, the average ecological risk index of the entire Savan District and the two provinces will rise, meanwhile the low-risk areas in the midwest regions and high-risk areas in the northwest will increase.Discussion: This study can guide the future coordinated development of the social economy and ecological environment in Savan District, Laos, and has good reference significance for ecological construction in similar areas in Southeast Asia.

“…The EF and Igeo indexes are employed as indicators to identify and quantify the degree of elemental pollution, as well as to evaluate the intensity of anthropogenic contaminants collected in sediment (Looi et al, 2019;Barbieri, 2016). To date, numerous studies have used the EF and Igeo to assess the contribution of anthropogenic inputs of elements in sediment (Özkan, 2012;Özkan and Büyükışık, 2012;Kaya et al, 2017;Kükrer et al, 2020;Fural et al, 2020;Fural et al, 2021).…”

This study aimed to investigate the ecological risk level of İzmir Inner Gulf. Based on the findings, port, industry, settlement and transportation activities generated Mo, Pb, Cu, Cd, Zn enrichment. Modified hazard quotient (MHQ) point to a high level of pollution and toxic effects for Ni and Cr; significant pollution and toxic effects for As and Hg, and moderate pollution and toxic effects for Pb, Zn, Cu. According to the ecological contamination index (ECI), the inner gulf is significantly-highly polluted. Toxic risk index (TRI) and potantial ecological risk index (PERI) are also consistent with these data. According to the ECI, the inner gulf is significantly/highly polluted. TRI and the PERI are also consistent with these data. Cd has created a significant ecological risk in all seasons due to its high toxicity. Cu and Pb have caused moderate ecological risk in local areas near the port. A moderate potential ecological risk has been identified in all seasons throughout the inner gulf.
