Soil Contamination in China: Current Status and Mitigation Strategies
TL;DR: Comparisons with other regions of the world show that the current status of soil contamination, based on the total contaminant concentrations, is not worse in China, however, the concentrations of some heavy metals in Chinese soils appear to be increasing at much greater rates.

Contamination features and health risk of soil heavy metals in China
TL;DR: The results showed that, due to the drastically increased industrial operations and fast urban expansion, Chinese soils were contaminated by heavy metals in varying degrees and children and adult females were the relatively vulnerable populations for the non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks.

Sequential extraction procedure for the speciation of particulate trace metals
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical procedure involving sequential chemicai extractions was developed for the partitioning of particulate trace metals (Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Fe, and Mn) into five fractions: exchangeable, bound to carbonates, binding to Fe-Mn oxides and bound to organic matter.
