Overview

Analysis shows health risks from heavy metals in farmland soils, indicating industrial areas require monitoring.

Key Points

  • This research aims to investigate heavy metal contamination and associated risks in farmland soils near industrial areas.
  • Analyzed the concentrations of eight heavy metals in farmland soils
  • Employed principal component analysis to identify sources of contamination
  • Assessed ecological and health risks associated with heavy metals
  • Mean concentrations of heavy metals exceeded local background levels
  • Ecological risk indicated moderate contamination from Cd and Hg
  • Non-carcinogenic risks for adults and children were within safe limits, but children's carcinogenic risk exceeded acceptable thresholds
