Soils in the Black Soil Zone of northeast China are experiencing pollution from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as region undergoes urbanization. In this study, 119 topsoil samples were collected black soil agricultural area Jilin Province, to investigate characteristics and spatial distribution 16 PAHs. The total concentration ∑16 PAHs soils ranged 2.546 33.993 mg/kg, with a mean value 9.99 mg/kg. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) analysis indicated that vehicle exhaust oil combustion identified main contributors traffic- energy-related pollution. inherited lifetime carcinogenicity risk (ILCR) was found be relatively low, indicating low potential region, adults (1.34 × 10-5) exhibiting higher than adolescents (8.62 10-6) children (7.49 10-6). highest values for intake, skin contact, inhalation routes observed adult group, suggesting residents certain areas may at increased health risk. This study enhances our understanding pathways through which enter Province provides insights could aid addressing PAH soil, ultimately contributing more sustainable practices region.
