Geochemistry of trace elements in Chinese coals: A review of abundances, genetic types, impacts on human health, and industrial utilization

TLDR
The background values of trace elements were dominated by sediment source regions in coal-bearing strata in China as mentioned in this paper, and the genetic types for trace-element enrichment of Chinese coals include source-rock- controlled, marine-environment-controlled, hydrothermal-fluid-controlled (including magmatic-, low-temperature-hydrothermalfluid-, and submarine-exhalation-controlled subtypes), groundwater-controlled and volcanic-ash-controlled.

Endemic selenium intoxication of humans in China

TL;DR: An endemic disease was discovered in 1961 in parts of the population of Enshi County, Hubei Province of the People's Republic of China and the morbidity was almost 50% in the 248 inhabitants of the five most heavily affected villages; its cause was determined to be selenium intoxication.
