Headwater streams contain amounts of heavy metal in an alpine forest in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River by Liang, Ziyi, Wu, Fuzhong, Yang, Wanqin, Zhang, Yu, Wu, Junwei, Yang, Fan

“…Therefore, the stream storage and distribution patterns of Cd, Pb, Ni, Cr, Cu, Mn and Zn were investigated in ten headwater streams of an Alpine forest located in the upper Yangtze River during the rainy season. The results indicated that the heavy metal storage per unit area of the investigated streams was as follows: 0.95 mg·m-2 for Cd, 8.36 mg m-2 for Pb, 1.98 mg m-2 for Ni, 136.98 mg m-2 for Cr, 9.29 mg m-2 for Cu, 433.39 mg m-2 for Mn and 29.07 mg m-2 for Zn; while the heavy metal storage per unit area of the catchment was as follows: 1.19 mg hm-2 for Cd, 10.47 mg hm-2 for Pb, 2.48 mg hm-2 for Ni, 171.62 mg hm-2 for Cr, 11.64 mg hm-2 for Cu, 542.99 mg hm-2 for Mn and 36.42 mg hm-2 for Zn. …”

Health risk study of trace elements in inhalable particles from Southern Yangtze River Delta Region, China by LONG, Liang-Ping

“…The exposure data of heavy metals and related health risks were very limited in China, especially in the Yangtze River Delta (SYRD) region. The aims of this study are to: (1) investigate the spatial and seasonal characteristics and sources of trace elements bounded to PM2.5 in the SYRD region; (2) study the bioaccessibility of trace elements bound to PM2.5 in water and simulated lung fluids; (3) investigate size distributions of trace elements and airway deposition fraction of particles in the respiratory system; and (4) perform health risk assessments for adults and children in the SYRD region with the consideration of bioaccessibilities of elements and deposition fractions. …”
