Source analysis of heavy metal pollution in agricultural soil irrigated with sewage in Wuqing, Tianjin

Abstract In this study, the contents of heavy metals and Cd and Pb isotope ratios of agricultural soil and potential source samples collected from farmland receiving sewage irrigation in Wuqing District, Tianjin, China were determined. Multiple methods were used for source analysis, including positi...
