In this study, based on the assessment of soil heavy metals (HMs) pollution using relevant
indices, a comprehensive approach combined network environ analysis (NEA), human …

Heavy metal (HM) pollution in soil is an inevitable outcome of industrialization. Quantitating
the distribution of this pollution—on, eg, local and regional scales—is an important step in …

Soil samples are collected from 74 sites in Shenyang city, northeast China, and the
concentrations, spatial distribution, enrichment factors (EF), and potential ecological and …

To understand the impact of urbanization process on heavy metals (HMs)(distribution,
sources and risks) in soil in different land-use types, we collected soil samples from 38 sites …

Human activities contribute greatly to heavy metal pollution in soils. Concentrations of 15
metal elements were detected in 105 soil samples collected from a typical rural-industrial …

Despite the growing concern raised by organic pollutants from the petrochemical industry to
the surrounding soils, the heavy metal (HM) pollution in these soils remains understudied …

The study combined multiple models to provide a deeper understanding to soil heavy metal
contamination and source information, which are essential for controlling pollution and …

Urbanization and industrialization increase the concentrations of heavy metals in soils,
which affect human health. A total of 127 topsoil samples were collected from the massively …

Heavy metals (HMs) in soil cause adverse effects on ecosystem and human health.
Quantifying ecological risk and human health risk (HHR) from sources can determine priority …

Source-specific risk apportionment for soil heavy metals (HMs) is crucial for pollution
mitigation and risk control in coal-mining areas. The ecological and human health risks …
