Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of environmental health risk identification and supervision, and specifically relates to an environmental health risk assessment method and system for metal smelting area complex pollution with multiple exposure media in production activities in the metal smelting area. Background Art
[0002] Existing research results show that heavy metal pollution is long-term, cumulative, hidden, latent and irreversible. At the same time, there are also problems such as great pollution hazards, long duration and high governance costs. Compared with single heavy metal pollution, the environmental toxicity effects of multiple heavy metal complex pollution and multiple exposure media are characterized by complexity, additive and antagonistic effects, influence on microbial community structure, differences in morphological transformation and migration, persistence and difficulty in degradation, biomagnification and potential harm to human health. These characteristics make heavy metal complex pollution under multiple exposure media one of the hot spots and difficulties in the field of environmental governance.
[0003] In the combined pollution effects of multiple heavy metals in different exposure media, the joint toxicity effect is more manifested as a synergistic effect, additive effect and other enhanced toxic effects, which bring stronger combined toxicity to different exposure media such as soil, water and atmosphere. Due to the differences in morphological transformation and migration between multiple heavy metals, the morphological transformation and migration of heavy metals in the same exposure medium are significantly different from the single pollution effect of multiple heavy metal combined pollution, which may affect the bioavailability and toxicity of heavy metals. For example, some heavy metals may be more likely to be transformed into more toxic forms under combined pollution conditions, or more likely to migrate and diffuse in soil, water and atmosphere. In addition, the combined pollution of multiple heavy metals further aggravates the persistent pollution problem of heavy metal pollution. Multiple heavy metals interact with each other, can prolong their existence time and have a lasting impact on the ecosystem. The biomagnification effect of combined pollution of multiple heavy metals is also much higher than that of single heavy metal pollution. Combined pollution of multiple heavy metals can enter the human body through the food chain and accumulate in the human body. Long-term exposure to multiple heavy metal pollution environments has greatly increased the health threat of health problems such as acute poisoning, subacute poisoning or chronic poisoning in the human body.
[0004] Production activities such as metal smelting have become one of the most important anthropogenic sources of heavy metal emissions. Metal smelting areas are typical environments with multiple heavy metals and multiple exposure media. Comprehensive and scientific health risk assessment of the population has always been a difficult technical problem to solve. Metal smelting refers to the process of extracting the target metal from metal ores or other metal-containing substances through a series of physical and chemical processes such as ore dressing, crushing, grinding, flotation or smelting, extraction and refining. Metal smelting, especially copper and iron smelting, has always been the most important basic material for my country's transportation, machinery manufacturing, national defense and military industries. As a high-input, high-consumption, and high-pollution metal smelting industry, it consumes a lot of fuel and produces a lot of greenhouse gases every year. In the process of metal mining and smelting, not only the heavy metal elements as products will enter the environment with waste gas, wastewater, and waste residue, but also the associated elements of mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, zinc, and other sulfur-loving elements as impurities will also be discharged into the environment at the same time, enriched in organisms and continuously migrated and transformed, and finally entered the human body through the food chain and other pathways, endangering human health.
[0005] In the prior art, an invention with a publication (announcement) number of CN118469295A provides a risk assessment method and device for heavy metal contaminated soil, the method comprising: obtaining risk assessment information of heavy metals in target heavy metal contaminated soil, including: measured concentration, background value, toxicity coefficient, daily exposure amount through oral intake, daily exposure amount through skin contact, non-carcinogenic reference dose and carcinogenic intensity coefficient; determining a potential ecological risk index according to the measured concentration, background value and toxicity coefficient; determining non-carcinogenic risk information according to the daily exposure amount through oral intake, daily exposure amount through skin contact and non-carcinogenic reference dose; determining carcinogenic risk information according to the daily exposure amount through oral intake, daily exposure amount through skin contact and carcinogenic intensity coefficient of heavy metals; and obtaining a risk assessment result of the target heavy metal contaminated soil according to the potential ecological risk index, non-carcinogenic risk information and carcinogenic risk information. This invention can achieve a comprehensive assessment of the risks of heavy metal contaminated soil and improve the reliability of risk assessment results. However, this technical solution cannot solve the problems of conducting environmental health risk assessments on complex pollution areas with multiple heavy metals in multiple exposure media and determining priority regulatory areas. It can also take into account the comprehensiveness and differentiation of evaluation results, determine priority regulatory areas, and conduct targeted differentiated supervision to improve environmental regulatory efficiency and save administrative resources.
[0006] In order to solve the health risk monitoring, management and governance of heavy metal pollution and effectively and scientifically evaluate the health damage caused by heavy metal pollutants, relevant associations and local governments have formulated some standards for heavy metal environmental risk issues in recent years. In terms of standards, they mainly include: In 2020, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the industry standard "General Guidelines for Technical Guidelines for Ecological and Environmental Health Risk Assessment" (HJ 1111-2020), which stipulates the general principles, procedures, contents, methods and technical requirements for ecological and environmental health risk assessment, but does not elaborate on the environmental health risk assessment method of heavy metals; In 2021, the Chinese Society of Environmental Sciences issued the group standard "Technical Specifications for Environmental Health Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals" (T / CSES 38-2021), which established technical specifications for environmental health risk assessment of heavy metals from the two aspects of carcinogenic risk and non-carcinogenic risk. This method mainly evaluates the environmental health risk of a single heavy metal, but cannot be applied to the environmental health risk assessment and priority supervision area division of complex pollution areas with multiple heavy metals in multiple exposure media. In 2021, the National Health Commission issued the industry standard "Technical Guidelines for Environmental Health Risk Assessment of Chemical Substances" (WS / T 777-2021). This method is only applicable to the health risk assessment of the population exposed to a single chemical substance in the environmental medium through a single or multiple pathways, and it also cannot solve the problem of effective supervision.
[0007] It can be seen from this that the above-mentioned existing technologies and standards are unable to solve the problems of environmental health risk assessment and effective supervision of multiple heavy metal complex pollution in multiple exposure media. Technical methods suitable for comprehensive environmental health ecological risk assessment and effective supervision of heavy metals in smelting areas have not yet been established. Therefore, it is impossible to conduct a scientific, comprehensive and targeted effective supervision assessment of the health risks of human exposure to heavy metals in environmental media such as high-intensity metal smelting activities, nor can it provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of multiple heavy metal pollution, human health protection and efficient supervision in metal smelting areas. Summary of the invention
