• The role of bacteria on heavy-metal extraction and uptake by plants growing on multi-metal-contaminated soils (2008, background): “Heavy metal pollution of soil and wastewater is a significant environmental problem and has a negative impact on human health and agriculture (McGrath et al. 1995; Cheng 2003).”
• Lead (Pb) isotopic fingerprinting and its applications in lead pollution studies in China: a review. (2010, background): “The geological background levels of heavy metals, including Pb, are generally low in China (Cheng, 2003).”
• Industrial water pollution, water environment treatment, and health risks in China. (2016, background): “One possible explanation for this difference may be that although the negative impacts of heavy metal are well known, heavy metal contaminants may not instantly negative influence physical health until heavy metal accumulates in the human body to a threshold and has long-term effects on physical hea”
• Contamination features and health risk of soil heavy metals in China. (2015, background): “With the developing industrial operations and fast urban expansion since the economic reform and opening that began in the late 1970s, soil pollution by heavy metals has been both serious and widespread in China (Chen et al., 1999; Wang et al., 2001; Cheng, 2003).”
• How Human Activities Affect Heavy Metal Contamination of Soil and Sediment in a Long-Term Reclaimed Area of the Liaohe River Delta, North China (2018, background): “industrialization and urbanization, elevated heavy metal contents in built-up lands have been found in many coastal areas around the world [51,52].”
