Geochemical Characteristics and Environmental Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in Weathering Profiles of Alkali-enriched Porphyry in Central Yunnan by Lei XU, Mengsheng ZHAO, Jie XU, Yanxun CHENG, Qiang QU, Weizhi CHEN, Ya ZHANG, Haoyu WANG, Yong BA, Fangping WEN, Kun QIAN

“…BACKGROUNDThe contents of many heavy metals in soil in many areas of southwest China are much higher than the national soil background value, and related studies show that most heavy metals in soil are in a state of “high background and low activity”, which is closely related to the special geological process in the area. Most scholars have concentrated more on the weathering process and post-weathering heavy metals of granite, basalt, carbonate rocks and other geological bodies with high background value of heavy metals in southwest China. …”
