Description

Qing-Zhao Wang, Yu-Qing Zhang, Lin Wang, and Yi-Xin Liang checked pollution at an old factory site in China. Their paper was published in two thousand twenty-five. As firms move or close, their land is often reused, so the soil and groundwater must be checked for harm.

The team tested eleven heavy metals in soil and groundwater and used several index methods to rate the risk. Mean metal levels stayed below screening limits, and most metals posed only minor risk to nature. They also checked a group of chemicals called PAHs for cancer risk. Risks for adults and children stayed within accepted limits, though eating was the higher route for children.
