Spatial distribution, formation mechanism, and health risk assessment of high-fluoride groundwater at the largest antimony mine in Hunan Province, China
Abstract:To date, few systematic studies of the spatial distribution, formation mechanism, and health risks of high-fluoride (F−) shallow groundwater in humid and semi-humid areas of the Xikuangshan antimony mine, Hunan Province, China. In this study, during March and April 2022, a total of 39 shallow groundwater samples were collected and analyzed using factor analysis, principal component analysis, and health risk assessment. F− concentrations in the shallow groundwater were found to range from 0.08 to 15.00 mg/L (me… Show more
