Implication

Analysis identifies industrial emissions as a critical source of heavy metal pollution in Jiangmen, suggesting targeted interventions.

Key Points

  • Health risk assessments indicate significant potential risks from industrial emissions, primarily affecting both children and adults.
  • Average concentrations of heavy metals Hg, Cd, Cu, Pb, and As in soil samples exceeded background values, signaling pollution.
  • Utilizing Pearson correlation analysis and the Positive Matrix Factorization model revealed three main sources of contamination.
  • Ecological risk assessments show Jianghai and Pengjiang Districts have the highest potential ecological risk index of 300.
