This study evaluated data from the literature on the presence of heavy metals for the period
of 2010–2022 in the soils of 174 cities across the world. The range values (mg/kg) of Arsenic …

The present study was conducted to assess the pollution level and distribution of heavy
metals and their ecological and health risk in sediments of the Rupsa River, Bangladesh …

Human activities contribute greatly to heavy metal pollution in soils. Concentrations of 15
metal elements were detected in 105 soil samples collected from a typical rural-industrial …

The bioaccessibility and human health risks of As and heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, Cr,
Cd and Mn) in total suspended particulates (TSP) and fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) in …

Metals occur naturally in the earth's crust, and their contents in the environment can vary
between different regions resulting in spatial variations of background concentrations. The …

Contamination and source identifications of metals in urban road dust are critical for
remediation and health protection. Receptor models are commonly used for metal source …

Contaminants in urban soils can directly pose significant human health risks through oral
ingestion, particle inhalation, and dermal contact, especially for children in public parks …

Because heavy metals (HMs) occurring naturally in soils accumulate continuously due to
human activities, identifying and apportioning their sources becomes a challenging task for …

The total concentrations and oral bioaccessibility of heavy metals in surface-exposed lawn
soils from 28 urban parks in Guangzhou were investigated, and the health risks posed to …

The oral bioaccessibility and the human health risks of As, Hg and other metals (Cu, Pb, Zn,
Ni, Co, Cd, Cr, Mn, V and Fe) in urban street dusts from different land use districts in Nan**g …
