Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Hydrogeology
  • Geophysics

Background:

  • Industrial legacies pose significant global heavy metal(loid) pollution challenges.
  • Linking soil and groundwater contamination is crucial for site remediation but lacks integrated studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a 3D visualization model integrating soil and groundwater data for contaminant assessment.
  • To analyze the spatial distribution of lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), and cadmium (Cd) in the soil-groundwater system.
  • To correlate contaminant distribution with historical production, substance type, soil properties, and groundwater flow.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized over 2600 measurements from high-density electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) for precise soil structure analysis.
  • Developed a calibrated model based on hydraulic conductivity (R² = 0.86) to understand anisotropic contaminant transport.
  • Integrated traditional exploration with non-invasive geophysical techniques.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated a strong correlation between contaminant distribution (Pb, Zn, As, Cd) and site-specific factors.
  • The calibrated model effectively revealed anisotropic contaminant transport, minimizing the need for extensive drilling.
  • Successfully visualized the internal state of the soil-groundwater system.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides a template for characterizing hydrogeological conditions and pollution at smelting sites.
  • Visualizing the soil-groundwater system is vital for effective site contamination control.
  • Integrated technological approaches enhance the understanding and management of industrial pollution.
