“…Due to the complex behavior and heterogeneity of urban soils, the concentrations and distribution of heavy metals varied over space (Luo et al 2007). The multivariate statistical methods in conjunction with the geographic information system (GIS) were previously used as powerful analysis tools to distinguish and identify different sources of heavy metals in soils (Mihailović et al 2015). Normally, the heavy metal sources of covariation were inferred indirectly through multivariate statistical analysis (for instance, correlation analysis, hierarchical cluster analysis, and principal component analysis) , Wang et al 2012).…”

The urban soils suffered seriously from heavy metal pollutions with rapid industrialization and urbanization in China. In this study, 54 urban soil samples were collected from Changsha, a mine-impacted city located in Southern China. The concentrations of heavy metals (As, Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) were determined by ICP-MS. The pollution sources of heavy metals were discriminated and identified by the combination of multivariate statistical and geostatistical methods. Four main sources were identified according to the results of hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), principal component analysis (PCA), and spatial distribution patterns. Co and Mn were primarily derived from soil parent material. Cu, Pb, and Zn with significant positive relationships were associated with mining activities and traffic emissions. Cd and Ni might be affected by commercial activities and industrial discharges. As isolated into a single group was considered to have correlation with coal combustion and waste incineration. Risk assessment of heavy metals in urban soils indicated an overall moderate potential ecological risk in the urban region of Changsha.

“…Urban soil is an important part of urban ecological environment, and it is closely related to urban water, atmosphere, groundwater, and other environmental factors [7]. Urban soil is located in the central position of urban ecological environment, which is not only the sink of various pollutants, but also the source of various pollutants; so it is often used as an important indicator of comprehensive environmental quality of urban [8,9]. Heavy metals are a kind of toxic pollutants, which are difficult to degrade in the environment.…”

“…Heavy metal pollution in urban soils is difficult to control because of its wide sources, many forms, and complex migration [10]. The three wastes, traffic exhaust, sewage irrigation, improper fertilizer, and pesticide application have become the main sources of heavy metals in urban soils [4,8,11]. The land use type, the disturbance time, and degree of human activities are the important factors affecting heavy metal pollution in urban soil [8,12].…”

With the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization in the developing country, quite a few pollutants produced by anthropological activities enter into urban soil. A large area of urban soil was polluted by different kinds of pollutants. There have been many pollution events like itai-itai disease in the whole world, and many people suffered from urban soil pollution. As the place where people are highly concentrated,

Large‐scale usage of agrochemicals in the soils found in the highland regions of Western Ghats, Kerala, India, is often equated with soil contamination and land degradation. Kerala, being the second largest cardamom producer in the world, unscrupulously uses agrochemicals in cardamom plantations, which release high levels of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) into the soils. Here, the PTEs from 25 agricultural soils were taken from high‐range mountain landscapes of southern Western Ghats, India, to evaluate the sources and levels of soil pollution. The data revealed that the soil samples from the study area were contaminated with PTEs, and their observed average concentration was in the order of Ba > Zr > V > Cr > Ni > Sr > Zn > Cu. Geochemical maps were generated to understand the hotspots in trace element contamination. Correlation matrix and factor analysis were applied to apportion the sources of PTEs. Enrichment factor and geochemical accumulation index indicated slight enrichment in all the elements analyzed. The contamination factor varied from 15.41 to 25.58, signifying a considerable degree of contamination in the area with respect to soil pollution. The pollution load index (PLI) values ranged from 0.97 to 1.99, indicating progressive deterioration of the sites. High degree of contamination and PLI values implied that not only geogenic sources, but also intensified anthropogenic activities may contribute to trace element accumulation. This work provides insights on the accumulation of PTEs in the soils, which will pose a great health risk to the local population through the consumption of various agricultural products cultivated in the area.
