“…The E i r values of all these metals were < 40, which revealed low potential risk to soils by individual metals. The observed E i r for Pb, Cr, Zn and Cu were higher than those reported from a waste dumping site [9] and lower than those reported from an industrial area [11] in Pakistan. The potential ecological RI for the agricultural soils in the study area indicated low potential ecological risk.…”

“…It is particularly significant to evaluate the potential ecological risk and predict the pollution trend of heavy metal in these soils in order to carrying out a targeted control or prevention measures. Soil quality monitoring employing different environmental quality indices for the assessment of metal contamination has been carried out globally [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. For example, the enrichment factor (EF) and geo-accumulation index (I geo ) are utilized to evaluate the degree of anthropogenic influence on soil contamination by heavy metals, and to differentiate the metals originating from human activities and those from natural sources [14].…”

This study was designed to investigate heavy metals concentrations in the suburban agricultural soils with particular emphasis upon their risk assessment. Therefore, a total of 36 collected soil samples were investigated for heavy metals analysis by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results showed that the mean concentrations were 126.8 mg kg −1 , 83.1 mg kg −1 and 118.5 mg kg −1 for Cr, Ni, and Pb, respectively, higher than the Canadian and European Union permissible limits of metals in agricultural soils; while the concentrations of Co, Cu and Zn were 34.7 mg kg −1 , 21.36 mg kg −1 and 92 mg kg −1 , respectively, within permissible limits, and were higher than guideline values at some sites. However, enrichment factors showed a substantial anthropogenic input of the studied metals. A significant to very high enrichment was recorded for Pb. Moreover, the geo-accumulation index revealed that these soils were moderately polluted with Pb. In general, pollution load index indicated moderate pollution of soils, which was mainly caused by Pb. The correlation and principal component analyses revealed that traffic emissions, tanneries, municipal waste and automobiles repair workshops were the predominant sources of Pb, Cr, Ni and Co; whereas Cu and Zn are of geogenic origin in agricultural soils of Sialkot.

“…In terms of aquatic pollutants, heavy metals represent an interesting group of elements due to their strong effects on the aquatic system equilibrium, bioaccumulation in living organisms, long term persistence and ability to accumulate in water and sediments (Monroy et al, 2014). Metal pollution in the aquatic environment is growing at an alarming rate and has become an important worldwide problem (Aiman et al, 2016). Metals can exist in the environment in different forms such as solid phase, free ions or absorbed to solid colloidal particles.…”

This work aimed to assess the impact of Sabal drains (northern part of El-Minufiyah governorate, Egypt) on the metals load of river Nile. Four sites were selected to monitor the partitioning of metals in the aquatic components: reference site (site1); 20Km before Sabal drainage (site2); Sabal site (site3) and 20Km after Sabal drainage (site4). The maximum means of aqueous metals were observed at site3 in the following order (mg/l): Fe (0.76) >Mn (0.325) >Zn(0.07) >Pb (0.064) >Cu (0.041) >Cd (0.0035), while the trend is slightly different in sediments (mg/kg): Fe (527.9) >Mn (102.7) >Zn (17.65) >Cu (11.4) >Pb (1.26)>Cd (0.07). Tissue-specific patterns of metal accumulation in Oreochromis niloticus were observed. As indicated by the calculated metal pollution index and bioaccumulation factor, the tissues of liver, kidneys and gills were observed to be strong bioaccumulators compared to muscular tissues. Regarding the correlation study in site3, the bioaccumulated metals in most tissues showed homogenous-correlation with aqueous metals (r>0.5) and diverse-correlations with respect to sedimentary metals. The calculated hazard index (HI) indicated that each metal had low HI but, the cumulative impacts of all metals represented a real threat to fish consumers especially at site3. Metals elevation was highly correlated with Sabal discharges and regulations for water and fish consumption have to be applied.

“…According to the criteria of contamination (Table 1) of urban road dusts based on Igeo, urban road dusts of Jeddah was uncontaminated by Ni, Cr, V, Mn, Co and Fe; uncontaminated to moderately contaminated by Cu; moderately to heavily contaminated by As, Pb and Zn; and heavily to extremely contaminated by Cd. Increased socioeconomic activities in urban areas and lack of proper disposal protocols of products like paint, oil, greases, fuel and used tires might increase metal contamination [47,89]. Shi et al [57] and Garcia-Martinez and Poleto [90] revealed that average Igeo value of Pb was high in urban areas.…”

Data dealing with the assessment of heavy metal pollution in road dusts in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and its implication to human health risk of human exposure to heavy metals, are scarce. Road dusts were collected from five different functional areas (traffic areas TA, parking areas PA, residential areas RA, mixed residential commercial areas MCRA and suburban areas SA) in Jeddah and one in rural area (RUA) in Hada Al Sham. We aimed to measure the pollution levels of heavy metals and estimate their health risk of human exposure applying risk assessment models described by USEPA. Using geo-accumulation index (Igeo), the pollution level of heavy metals in urban road dusts was in the following order Cd > As > Pb > Zn > Cu > Ni > Cr > V > Mn > Co > Fe. Urban road dust was found to be moderately to heavily contaminated with As, Pb and Zn, and heavily to extremely contaminated with Cd. Calculation of enrichment factor (EF) revealed that heavy metals in TA had the highest values compared to that of the other functional areas. Cd, As, Pb, Zn and Cu were severely enriched, while Mn, V, Co, Ni and Cr were moderately enriched. Fe was consider as a natural element and consequently excluded. The concentrations of heavy metals in road dusts of functional areas were in the following order: TA > PA > MCRA > SA > RA > RUA. The study revealed that both children and adults in all studied areas having health quotient (HQ) < 1 are at negligible non-carcinogenic risk. The only exception was for children exposed to As in TA. They had an ingestion health quotient (HQing) 1.18 and a health index (HI) 1.19. The most prominent exposure route was ingestion. The cancer risk for children and adults from exposure to Pb, Cd, Co, Ni, and Cr was found to be negligible (< 1 x 10 -6 ).
