- W4385877763 abstract "Intensive mining activities in large-scale opencast coal mines have had a significant impact on the local environment. Elements that are potentially harmful to the environment are brought to the surface from deep underground, altering the geochemical conditions for their transport and redistributing them to the surface, causing serious local pollution. However, in-depth studies of toxic metal contamination in soils of arid coal mining areas have not yet received the attention they deserve. Although previous studies have conducted a great deal of research on heavy metal elements in surface coal mine soils, there are few studies related to the more seriously polluted surface coal mines in the arid regions of Northwest China, and there are no in-depth studies on the ecology of soil heavy metal contamination, health risks and source analysis according to the authors’ knowledge. To make up for this shortcoming, the present study takes Zn, Cu, Cr, Pb, Hg, and As in the surroundings of the tertiary coal mines in the Hongsachuan Mining Area (northern Xinjiang, China) as an example. The health, ecological risks, and pollution sources of heavy metal elements in surface coal mine soils were comprehensively analyzed. The results showed that the average concentrations of Cr, Hg, and As in the soils of open-pit coal mines greatly exceeded the corresponding provincial background values, with the Cr content exceeding China’s soil environmental quality standard Ⅰ and the As content even higher than standard Ⅱ (GB15618-1995). Geostatistical and multivariate statistical results showed that the six metals analyzed in this study can be divided into four groups, as follows. Group 1 included Zn and Cu and was mainly controlled by natural sources related to soil parent materials. Group 2 consisted of Cr and Hg and was associated with industrial practices. Group 3 was explained by As and was mainly from coal combustion during the mining activities. Group 4 was Pb and was dominantly from natural sources, together with vehicular emission during the mining activities, indicating a mixed source. Potential ecological risk index (PER) values exhibited low ecological risk in contaminated soils with Zn, Cu, Pb, and Cr, and only 10% of As samples exhibited moderate risks, while 77% of Hg samples posed ecological risks at different level, implying that Hg was the main contributor for comprehensive risk index (RI). Regardless of non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risk assessment, As was the primary risk element followed by Cr, and children tended to have a higher health risk than adults. In this paper, statistical methods, pollution assessment methods, and potential ecological risk models are skillfully combined, and relevant conclusions are drawn based on the human and economic geographical background information of the study area. The results can provide references for the investigation and evaluation of soil heavy metals and quantitative analysis of pollution sources in the same type of areas. In order to grasp the pollution level of potential toxic elements in the soil of large open-pit coal mines in arid areas, effective source-cutting measures are taken to provide data support the sustainable management of coal mines and local soil safety utilization measures." @default.
