Contamination and health risk assessment of heavy metals in China’s lead–zinc mine tailings: A meta–analysis
Abstract
The lead-zinc areas of China have faced serious foulteousqulated heavy metal pollution. In this study, data on As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn concentrations in China's lead-zinc mine tailings were collected and screened from published literature (2015-2020). The contamination assessments, geographical distributions, and health risk assessments of the eight heavy metals were analyzed. The results revealed that the mean concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn exceeded the corresponding background values for soils. Moreover, most of the lead-zinc mine tailing areas contaminated by heavy metals were located in the southern and eastern regions of China. The health risk assessment results indicated that oral ingestion was the main exposure route of heavy metals in the mine tailings, and children were more vulnerable to adverse effects. For a single metal, As and Pb presented high non-carcinogenic risks, and As and Cu presented the unacceptable carcinogenic risks. This study provides a timely analysis proving the urgent necessity of the treatment of heavy metal pollution in lead-zinc tailings in China.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
