“…The trend in recent decades has been to reduce the number of industrial enterprises, especially medium and precision engineering, and to transfer production sites to the periphery of the urban area. As a result, deconstructed sites appear in the existing urban development, which are then built up into new residential areas [55]. The need for such planning decisions is due to the constant growth of the urban population, which reached 828,575 people in 2022 [53].…”

Ensuring the sustainability of modern cities is based on creating comfortable living conditions, including reducing negative environmental impacts. The effects of various types of anthropogenic activity are manifested in a particular decrease in the quality of soils. This study aimed to assess the co-contamination of urban topsoils in Tyumen, Russia, with potentially toxic elements (PTEs), priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and the associated ecological and health risks. A set of 241 soil samples were analyzed using X-ray fluorescence and high-performance liquid chromatography to identify PTEs and PAHs, respectively. The most hazardous substances were Ni, As, Pb, naphthalene (NAP), fluoranthene, and high-molecular-weight PAHs causing low-to-very-high individual pollution. In general, the contribution of PAHs to soil pollution was higher than that of PTEs. It was found that 96% of the samples could be classified as clean according to the total pollution index (Zc), widely used in Russia. At the same time, one-third of the samples were characterized by low-to-high contamination according to the Nemerov pollution index (NPI). Thus, the NPI was more informative for estimating total soil pollution than the Zc. The As, Pb, NAP, and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) contents exceeded the maximum permissible concentrations in soils by an order of magnitude, reaching an extremely dangerous level. However, the average ecological risk was assessed as minimal. Non-carcinogenic risks were predominantly due to PTE exposure and were moderate for children and low for adults. Throughout the city, carcinogenic risks exceeded the threshold but generally corresponded to a low level. The main source of carcinogenic risk was exposure to Co, As, and Pb. In general, the quality of Tyumen soils in terms of the content of PTEs and PAHs can be described as satisfactory. A spatial analysis of soil pollution and associated risks identified hot spots requiring further monitoring.

Content and main results of the Papers of this Special IssueXu et al. ( 2022) investigated the residue of tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) in soil and Brassica juncea var. gemmifera and the diversity of soil bacterial community under different livestock manure treatments of major large-scale farms in Chongquing, China. Effects of TCs on the structure diversity of soils microbial community were also investigated by high-throughput sequencing. The results show that TCs content in soil was increased by applying livestock manure. The increment order can be ranked as pig manure > chicken manure > biogas residue. Also, the TCs in edible parts of B. juncea var. gemmifera was increased after livestock manure treatment. The soil OTUs under the treatment pig manure was higher than that under the treatment of chicken manure. Biogas residue (livestock manure after fermentation treatment) can effectively reduce the environmental and ecological risks caused by TCs. Mench et al. (2022) assessed the influence of five organic amendments differing in their composition and production process and spring barley to phytomanage a Cu/PAH contaminated soil. Field plots with soil mainly contaminated by Cu were amended with the five organic amendments, i.e. solid fractions
