Impact of coal power generation on the characteristics and risk of heavy metal pollution in nearby soil
Introduction The development of coal power base (CPB) poses a severe challenge to the soil. We conducted a soil survey in Xilinhot CPB, to evaluate and analyze the pollution characteristics, potential ecological risk, and sources of six heavy metals (As, Pb, Cu, Zn, Mn, and Cd) in soil by using Geo-...
