Prevention and control of heavy metal contamination in cropland and in commercial rice in Hunan Province: Current status and practical considerations

doi:10.13745/j.esf.sf.2023.8.24

Abstract

Abstract:

Hunan Province is one of the main grain-producing areas in China. Due to mining economic and other human activities, large areas of cultivated land soil are contaminated by heavy metals, which caused the concentrations of heavy metals in rice from some places exceed national food hygiene standard values. In this study, the current pollution status and reasons of heavy metal contaminated cultivated land soil and rice in Hunan Province are analyzed. The results showed that the characteristic of heavy metal contaminated farmland soil in Hunan is multiple-heavy metal pollution, and the level of pollution increases year by year, which is mainly distributed around the Xiangjiang River Basin and industrial and mining areas, and the contaminated area gradually spreads to breeding areas. The prominent heavy metal in rice is cadmium (Cd), followed by arsenic (As) and lead (Pb). In view of the various prevention and control measures for heavy metal pollution in rice from Hunan, their working principles, application examples, advantages and disadvantages were introduced. Then the remediation measures on heavy metal contaminated soil and their researches carried out in Hunan Province were summarized and discussed. Finally, in order to remediate heavy metal contaminated soil, reduce heavy metal contents in rice, and ensure safe food production, the economical, green, and efficient comprehensive technical method including in-situ passivator materials which based on soil composition coupled with easy-to-operate agronomic measures would be recommended.

Key words: cultivated land, rice, heavy metals, remediation, passivators, Hunan
