摘要
A total of 153 soil samples were collected from Changsha City, China, to analyze the contents of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn. A combination of sampling data, multivariate statistical method, geostatistical analysis, direct exposure method and triangulated irregular network （TIN） model was successfully employed to discriminate sources, simulate spatial distributions and evaluate children＇s health risks of heavy metals in soils. The results show that not all sites in Changsha city may be suitable for living without remediation. About 9.0% of the study area provided a hazard index （HI）1.0, and 1.9% had an HI2.0. Most high HIs were located in the southern and western areas. The element of arsenic and the pathway of soil ingestion were the largest contribution to potential health risks for children. This study indicates that we should attach great importance to the direct soil heavy metals exposure for children＇s health.
通过采集153个样品分析长沙市土壤中As、Cd、Cr、Cu、Hg、Mn、Ni、Pb和Zn的含量,利用多元统计、地学统计、直接暴露以及不规则三角网模型(TIN模型)等方法分析土壤中重金属的来源、空间分布以及对儿童的健康风险。结果表明:长沙地区部分区域需经过污染治理后才适合人类生活;约9.0%的区域风险值超过了临界值1.0,1.9%的区域风险值大于2.0,其中高风险主要集中在南部和西部地区;元素As和口腔摄入途径是儿童的主要健康风险来源;土壤重金属的直接暴露对儿童所产生的健康风险应该受到研究者的重视。
