China Gets Serious about Its Pollutant-Laden Soil [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
A recent national survey found that 2.5\,% of China's arable land is too contaminated to grow food safely. The survey's details were so alarming that they were declared a "state secret." Now, the central government appears eager to tackle the problem; China's latest 5-year plan singles out five industries as egregious soil polluters and sets a target to reduce, by 2015, discharges of heavy metals by 15\,% from 2007 levels.
