Abstract Sediments in agricultural ecosystems serve as critical indicators of environmental pollution, particularly regions subjected to intensive practices. This research evaluates the hazards and implications heavy metal (HM) contamination river sediments from Sidi Allal Tazi area within Morocco’s Sebou basin. Twenty sediment samples were extracted strategically designated locations, levels analyzed using a multi-index integration approach, multi-statistical analyses (MSA), Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The results revealed considerable spatial variability HM concentrations, with Cd As displaying highest levels. Statistical analysis, incorporating Principal Component Analysis (PCA), identified anthropogenic activities primary contributors contamination. Hierarchical Cluster (HCA) categorized metals based on common pollution pathways, while GIS mapping distribution across vulnerable areas. Pollution like Geo-accumulation Index (Igeo) well Load (PLI). that 75% sites under “very high pollution”, emphasizing severity Contamination Factor (CF) classified 90% 100% contamination”. Risk indices indicated significant ecological threats, contributing an RI exceeding 600 many areas, signifying risk”. These findings highlight urgent need for targeted mitigation strategies sustainable methodologies provides comprehensive framework assessing managing contamination, offering insights policymakers managers.

Perpetually intensifying soil contamination is an anthropogenic phenomena, which a global environmental concern. An important tool for the evaluation of levels and ecosystem health assessment quality, can be used to evaluate prospective ecological threats both organisms environment. The aim this study was quantify heavy metal pollution assess site quality three wildlife parks in different climatic zones Punjab, Pakistan, where several wild animals were housed purpose conservation. A robust method calculation, absolute deviation from median (median ± (2 × MAD)), compute geochemical background value each metal. Single (geoaccumulation index – Igeo enrichment factor EF) complex (pollution load (PLI)) indices recognize whether detected metals Pb, Cr, Zn, Cd, Co, Mn Ni are consequences or natural sources. In comparison between sites, Cd Zn recorded high at Jallo Forest Wildlife Park succeeded by Murree Bahawalnagar Park. Cr showed EF values while greater indicating geoaccumulation. highest with reference (PLI = 1.12), followed PLI 1.05 0.80, respectively. Analysis hierarchical clustering (HCA) degree variation concentrations all sites exception Pb Zn. As documented present study, significant soils selected sites. Further mandatory because chosen situated climatically diverse areas factors, topography, condition their impact on accumulation patterns as well animals.
