Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of soil environmental big data, specifically relating to a simulation method and system for the cross-media migration of heavy metals. Background Technology

[0002] During my country's rapid economic development, environmental pollution problems such as air, soil, and water pollution have emerged, gradually forming regional, cumulative, and multi-media pollution characteristics and an overall pattern. Although my country has made great achievements in environmental governance theory and technology after more than 10 years of concentrated efforts, it still cannot meet the national concept of "comprehensive environmental protection" and the needs of systematic governance.

[0003] Regional cross-media complex pollution control and remediation place greater emphasis on a holistic, systemic, and spatiotemporally multi-scale perspective, comprehensively analyzing pollution occurrence mechanisms at the regional level to achieve full-process pollution prevention and control. From a scientific understanding perspective, the environment is a complex system composed of multiple media, including air, water, and soil, forming a continuous multi-media system. After pollutants enter the environment, they not only migrate and attenuate within a single medium but also undergo transfer processes between media.

[0004] Furthermore, existing research primarily focuses on simulating pollutant migration and transformation within a single medium or on the interfacial physicochemical reaction processes between two media. Research on cross-media migration of pollutants at a regional scale remains insufficient. In particular, considering the differences in the secondary distribution and accumulation rates of heavy metals in water, air, and soil at the regional scale, how these ultimately affect heavy metal pollution levels in different media remains a challenge, requiring adequate technical methods.

[0005] In conclusion, considering the impact of heavy metal cross-media migration on the long-term accumulation of soil and water, establishing a simulation method and system for heavy metal cross-media migration can provide scientific and technological support for regional-scale comprehensive environmental management and precise pollution control.

The above parameters are the model parameters for cadmium cross-medium simulation in this embodiment.

[0112] Step 4: Evaluate the impact of cross-media migration, as detailed below:

[0113] (1) In this embodiment, the effect of cadmium in atmospheric deposition is a slow process. Therefore, this embodiment aims to predict the cadmium accumulation in soil and groundwater over 10 years. Therefore, the simulation period is set to 10 years.

[0114] Since a single operation of the device is calculated as an annual result, the future evaluation period is set accordingly. i = 10 (times) i It also represents the corresponding year;
