天津市农田土壤重金属来源及健康风险评价

Source and health risk assessment of heavy metals in farmland soil of Tianjin City

  • 摘要: 为揭示城市周边蔬菜粮食种植区土壤重金属风险,同时针对目前研究中缺少经手-口摄入、呼吸途径和皮肤接触暴露途径引起的人体健康风险及估算不同来源下量化的成人和儿童的健康风险情况,以天津市西青区农田表层土壤为研究对象,分析了Cr、Cu、Ni、Pb、Zn、As、Hg、Cd共8种重金属的浓度,采用主成分分析(PCA)、正定矩阵分解(PMF)、健康风险评价模型(PMF-HRA)分别评价土壤重金属污染程度、来源及健康风险,厘定主要的重金属污染物及其暴露途径。结果表明:天津市农用地土壤8种重金属中Cd、Hg污染最为严重,均值分别超出背景值151.9%、324.1%,约有15%的点位处于中度至重度污染等级。研究区土壤重金属污染的来源主要包括自然成土过程、农业生产和交通运输、燃煤、农药使用。Cd(农药源)和Hg(燃煤源)是研究区农用地土壤污染的重要元素。在摄食农作物、手-口摄入和皮肤接触3种暴露途径下,均不存在显著的非致癌健康风险。自然源的总致癌风险指数(TCR)最高,Cr元素是源贡献中儿童非致癌风险总指数(HI)和儿童TCR的主要贡献者;燃煤源中Hg对HI的贡献最大,Cu和Zn对HI的贡献来自于农药和交通混合源。以上重金属元素的污染来源均与周围居民的工业、农业及交通活动存在密切的联系,应引起重视。

     

    Abstract: To reveal the heavy metal risks in the soil of vegetable and grain planting areas around the city, and to address the current lack of research on human health risks caused by hand mouth intake, respiratory pathways, and skin contact exposure pathways, as well as to estimate the health risks of adults and children from different sources, the surface soil of farmland in Xiqing District, Tianjin City was taken as the research object, and the concentrations of 8 heavy metals including Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, As, Hg, and Cd were analyzed. Principal component analysis (PCA), positive definite matrix factorization (PMF), and health risk assessment model (PMF-HRA) were used to evaluate the degree, sources, and health risks of soil heavy metal pollution, and to identify the main heavy metal pollutants and their exposure pathways. The results show that Cd and Hg pollution is the most severe among the 8 heavy metals in agricultural soil in Tianjin City, with the average exceeding the background values by 151.9% and 324.1%, respectively. About 15% of the points are at moderate to severe pollution levels. The main sources of heavy metal pollution in the soil of the research area include natural soil formation processes, agricultural production, transportation, coal burning, and pesticide use. Cd (pesticide sources) and Hg (coal-fired sources) are important elements of soil pollution in agricultural land in the study area. There is no significant non-carcinogenic health risk in three exposure pathways: ingestion of crops, hand and mouth ingestion, and skin contact. The total carcinogenic risk index (TCR) of natural sources is the highest, with Cr being the main contributor to childhood total non-carcinogenic risk indices (HI) and childhood TCR in the source contribution; Hg contributes the most to HI in coal-fired sources, while Cu and Zn contribute to HI from mixed sources of pesticides and transportation. The contributions of the above heavy metal elements are closely related to the industrial, agricultural, and transportation activities of surrounding residents, and should be taken seriously.
