Throughout the literature, word "heavy metal" (HM) has been utilized to describe soil contamination; in this context, we characterize it as those elements with a density greater than 5 g per cubic centimeter. Contamination is one of major global health concerns, especially China. China's rapid urbanization over past decades caused widespread urban water, air, and degradation. This study provides complete assessment contamination by heavy metals mining smelting regions. The (HMs) includes an examination their potential adverse impacts, origins, strategies for remediation contaminated metals. presence can be linked both natural anthropogenic processes. Studies have demonstrated that soils present risks individuals. Children are more vulnerable effects metal pollution adults. results highlight significance operations Soil poses significant carcinogenic non-carcinogenic, particularly children individuals living heavily polluted areas. Implementing physical, chemical, biological techniques most productive approach addressing metal-contaminated soil. Among these methods, phytoremediation emerged advantageous option due its cost-effectiveness environmentally favorable characteristics. Monitoring utmost importance facilitate implementation improved management soils.

This research looks at how the growth of cities and industries affects levels heavy metals in soil, which can impact people's health. We find out where pollution comes from, such as factories, car fumes, improper waste disposal, by reviewing existing studies. use different methods to test soil for study exposure these urban areas The evidence shows a connection between high city health problems like breathing issues, brain disorders, overall toxicity body. also explore get into human body, highlighting importance understanding they are available ways people exposed. To deal with polluted soils, we look manage suggest sustainable reduce metal pollution. Our discoveries add what know about environmental health, emphasizing need actions protect residents. Ultimately, this aims give important information insights policymakers, planners, public officials managing lessening risks linked contamination soils.

Soil environmental protection has become a pressing issue for sustainable development. This study collected 153 topsoil samples from typical agricultural area to evaluate the contamination characteristics of heavy metal(loid)s (HMs), identify their potential sources, and assess associated ecological human health risks. The results showed that mean concentration HMs was in order Zn > Cr Ni Pb Cu As Cd Hg; all were below background levels, except Cd. geo-accumulation index (Igeo) improved Nemerow (INI) revealed overall pollution level considered as no or slight contamination, while posed low risk according hazard factor (Ei) (PERI). In addition, three main sources identified through positive matrix factorization (PMF) model: natural source (48.2%; contributed As, Ni, Cu, Pb, Zn), coal burning waste disposal (24%; Hg Cd), activities (27.8%; Cr).
