- W2805183721 abstract "Lead (Pb) contamination was recognized in China early in the 1920s. However, the response of Pb contamination in sediments to China's rapid economic and social development remains uncertain to date. We conducted a literature review of over 1000 articles from 1990 to 2016 and the first national-scale survey of Pb contamination in China. A literature review showed that available research in China focused on the economically highly developed river basins, including the Pearl River Basin (PRB), Yellow River Basin (YRB), and Yangtze River Basin (YtRB), whereas those in the less developed southeastern, southwestern, and northwestern river basins received limited attention. The YtRB and YRB had higher Pb contamination levels than other basins, corresponding with the rapid economic development in those regions. However, the less economically developed river basins in the southeastern and northwestern regions of China were also contaminated by Pb. Analysis of 146 studies in the PRB, YRB, and YtRB revealed that Pb contamination in PRB sediments showed a tendency to improve over time, whereas that from the YtRB exhibited a tendency to worsen. For the YRB, there was a slight increase from 1990 to 2006 and a decreasing trend from 2007 to 2014. The overall temporal trend in Pb levels in PRB and YRB sediments corresponded with that of the Pb discharged in wastewater in the surrounding cities, indicating that industrial wastewater discharge was possibly one of the main anthropogenic sources of Pb in those sediments. For the YtRB, the increasing trend in Pb concentrations was related to the considerably high atmospheric Pb emissions in the surrounding cities and its geographical characteristics. These findings suggested that China should develop systematic and consistent approaches for monitoring Pb contents in sediments and adopt a regional economic development policy focusing on pollution prevention." @default.
