Insights into wind-driven heavy metal pollution and human health risk assessment in a typical lead-zinc mining area of northern China

ABSTRACT: Long-term mining activities can result in the release of heavy metals into soil, ultimately posing a threat to human health. In arid and semi-arid regions, wind-driven transport of these toxic metals from mining areas represents a primary mechanism for their spatial distribution. To evalua...
