Concentration, distribution and bioaccumulation of mercury in the Xunyang mercury mining area, Shaanxi Province, China
Samples of surface water, soil, sediment and plants from the Xunyang Hg mining area in Shaanxi Province, China, were analyzed to assess the effects of the Hg mining activities on the environment. The results show that: (1) the mining activities are sources of Hg to the environment surrounding the mi...

| description | Samples of surface water, soil, sediment and plants from the Xunyang Hg mining area in Shaanxi Province, China, were analyzed to assess the effects of the Hg mining activities on the environment. The results show that: (1) the mining activities are sources of Hg to the environment surrounding the mine; (2) the environment, especially riverbeds in the Xunyang area, is contaminated with Hg and (3) Hg accumulation in cabbage leaves, the main vegetable for the local residents, is high, reaching concentrations that are 6–540 times higher than the maximum Hg concentration recommended for edible plants in China. Action should be taken to remediate contaminated sites, manage waste discharges and reduce the exposure of Hg to local residents by issuing advisories against consuming agricultural products grown in the area, which are contaminated with Hg. |
