“…The anthropogenic sources of Cu concentration in the study area could be due to the massive use of fertilizers and pesticides (Khouli and Djabri 2011;Lebik and Ait-amar 2013). El-Hadef El-Okki et al (2016) reported that Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn are commonly found to be anthropogenically enriched in the soils of Rhumel wadi in Algeria.…”

In the last few decades, the Mitidja plain has undergone economic development which may have altered the concentrations of some trace metals in its soils. Therefore, this study was aimed at investigating the concentrations and sources of Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn in 180 composite topsoil samples using a combination of environmental quality indicators and multivariate statistical approaches with a geographic information system (GIS). Based on spatial distribution maps, various hot-spots have been identified. Enrichment factors (EFs) indicated that Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn were from anthropogenic sources, while Ni and Cr were controlled mainly by natural lithogenic source. Multivariate statistical analyses were in agreement, except for Cu which was classified as coming from both anthropogenic and lithogenic sources.

“…Recently, a lot of attention has been paid to the impact of metals on human and environmental animal health (Prasad et al 2006;Sharpley 2007;Hindersmann and Mansfeldt 2014). Metals occur naturally in soils and other ecosystems, but their levels and bioavailability can increase through numerous anthropogenic activities such as metallurgical industry, mining and smelting, vehicle exhaust, energy and fuel production, soil fertilizers and pesticides, and the application of sewage sludge (Dias and Edwards 2003;Davis et al 2009;Alloway 2013;El-Hadef El-Okki et al 2016;Dhaliwal et al 2020).…”
