“…This suggests that there are no non-carcinogenic risk for child and adults in study area. Wei et al (2015) and Xiao et al, (2019) also reported that compared with the non-carcinogenic health risk for child, such risk for adults was lower. Furthermore, the carcinogenic risks (RI) and the total carcinogenic risks (TRI) for As, Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb were evaluated and are presented in Table 3.…”

“…If HQ and HI are less than 1, it will not be found adverse health effects and while, HQ and HI > 1 indicate undesirable effects on human health (USEPA, 2001). The carcinogenic risk to health can be ignored if RI < 10 -6 , whereas for RI > 10 -4 the risk of cancer in humans probably increase and values between 10 -4 and 10 -6 will lead to acceptable risk to human health (Hu et al, 2011;Xiao et al 2019).…”

“…Over the past few decades, exposure to soil which enriched with heavy metals, has been widely examined in terms of pollution and their health problems. These investigations have been done either on urban soils (Imperato et al, 2003;Cai et al, 2012;Guo et al, 2012;Luo et al, 2015;Pan et al, 2018;Yang et al, 2020;Li et al, 2020), lake sediments (Bai et al, 2011;Liu et al, 2018;Bahloul et al, 2018;, road dust (Charlesworth et al, 2003;Soltani et al, 2015;Dehghani et al, 2017;Xiao et al, 2019;Cui et al, 2020), stormwater runoff (Brown and Peake, 2006), agricultural soils (Agarwal et al, 2009;Baltas et al, 2020;Doabi et al, 2018) or in soils under different land use (Ma et al, 2020). Due to the fact that urban soils are mainly affected by the rapid expansion of urbanization, human activities, high city traffic and increase of industrial and agricultural activities near cities, this study focuses on pollution, health risk assessment and pollution indicators from Yazd urban soil in the center of Iran.…”

“…Yang et al, (2020) were used Contamination factor C f , PLI, RI and potential ecological risk factor to assess the pollution degree of heavy metals in 0-10 and 10-20 cm soil depth from Linfen in China and showed the pollution from heavy metal is considerable; almost 50% of the study area were polluted and conclude that there was not observed significant differences between topsoil and subsoil samples and the concentration of toxic elements was higher than background values. Xiao et al, (2019) to determine comprehensively the contamination level and human health risk by trace elements in road dust of city Anshan, Northeast China calculated RI, PI, I geo , RI and HI. The I geo and PI values of heavy metals were reduced in the following order: Cd> Sb> Zn > Fe > Pb> Cu> Cr> Sn > Mn> Ni.…”

Heavy metal pollution significantly reduces the quality of the environment and threatens human health especially in industrial cities. This study investigated toxic metals concentrations, pollution levels and human health risks assessment of urban soils in Yazd city, as an industrial city in center of Iran. Soil surface samples (0-10 cm) were collected from 30 points in the area for geochemical analysis. The concentrations of heavy metals were determined using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).The values of the mean concentrations of toxic metals (mg kg-1) in the urban soils decrease in the order of Zn (83.9) > Pb (34.5) > Cr (32.6) > Cu (23.5) > Ni (23.4) > As (5.86) > Co (4.86) > Cd (0.27). The mean concentration of Zn, Pb, As and Cd elements were higher than the background and the crust values.

“…Recently, numerous investigators studied the total heavy metals in RDs particles and evaluated the environment risks (Faiz et al 2009; Okorie et al 2012; Pereira et al 2007; Shi et al 2008;Wei et al 2015;Xiao et al, 2020). However, the total concentration of heavy metals cannot be fully evaluated the potential risk in RDs particles.…”

This study evaluated chemical fractions, potential leachability, and bio-accessibility of heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Cd, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in road dusts from the steel-industrial city (Anshan), Northeastern China. Chemical fractions of heavy metals were determined using Tessier sequential extraction method. The environmental risk assessment was evaluated using short-term extraction tests: TCLP, PBET, and CaCl2. Sequential extraction analysis reveals that Cr and Ni primarily existed in residual form. The non-residual fraction of heavy metals decreased in the order of Zn (average 57.78%)> Cu (39.16%)> Pb (30.73%)≈ Cd (30.67%)> Ni (19.06 %)> Cr (8.7%%). The results showed that Cd, Cu, Zn and Pb, which were extremely concentrated in potentially mobile fractions, had highly potential environmental risks. The mobility of Cd and Zn was usually higher than those of Cr, Cu, Pb and Ni, which means that Cd and Zn have higher hazardous to ecosystem. The order of bioavailability identified by PBET method was generally Zn>Cd>Pb>Ni>Cu>Cr. There was a significantly relationship between PBET, TCLP-test and bioavailable parts (F1+F2+F3+F4, SUM4) of sequential extraction, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that toxicity and bioavailability of heavy metals were not only depended on RDs properties, but also lied on the total heavy metals.

Potentially toxic element (PTE) pollution in farmland soil is a global problem. It is vital to clarify the contributions of farmland soil PTE from different sources to potential ecological risk (PER) and human health risks (HHR), but the existing research methods were incomplete. This study explored a comprehensive scheme that combined source contribution and risk assessment to quantitatively assess PER, HHR and the priority pollution sources. enrichment factor (EF) and pollution load index (PLI) were utilized to estimate the features of enrichment and contamination of PTE in farmland soil. Furthermore, spatial distribution characteristics of PTE and positive matrix factorization (PMF) were combined to distinguish and ascertain the sources of PTE, and the PER and HHR model based on PMF were applied to evaluate the ecological and human health risks in different sources. Taking Puning District as an example, four sources of farmland soil PTE were quantitatively allocated. For ecological risk, the study area was at moderate ecological hazard, with industrial activities (53.67%) contributing the most. The mean of Hg was 69.82, reaching medium ecological risk. For human health risks, both adults and children had no non-carcinogenic risk in the study area, and the natural source was the greatest contributor, followed by agricultural activities. The total carcinogenic risk index (TCRI) values for adults and children were 1.40E-05 and 2.75E-05, respectively, showing no significant carcinogenic risk. Furthermore, compared with adults, the health risks of children, whether noncarcinogenic or carcinogenic, were higher than those of adults.
