Assessment of heavy metals and radionuclides pollution in an agro-mining river system: implications for environmental and human health
This study assessed heavy metal (Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn and Cd) and radionuclide (²²⁶Ra, ²³²Th and ⁴⁰K) pollution and associated risks in the Likuyu River system, Tanzania. Surface water and sediments were collected from five sites along a 22.7 km river stretch, while soils and leafy vegetables were sampled from adjacent farms...

Predicting Cadmium and Arsenic Accumulation and Soil-Exposure Health Risks in Agricultural Soils Below the Risk Screening Values: A Refined Flux Balance Model
Less attention has been paid to soils with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) below agricultural land risk screening values, even though they continue to accumulate these elements. In this study, four typical areas in Ningxia were selected to determine the concentrations of cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) in 176 samples c...

Geochemistry, sources, human health and ecological risk of trace elements in soil from the Mirsarai export processing zone, southeastern coast of Bangladesh
Rapid industrial growth in Export Processing Zones (EPZs) has intensified concerns regarding trace element accumulation in soils and its environmental consequences. This study quantified twelve trace elements in soils from the Mirsarai Export Processing Zone using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) t...

Refining source-oriented ecological-health risk assessments of soil potentially toxic elements using region-specific geochemical baseline values in a high geological background region.
Naturally mineralized regions exhibit elevated geochemical backgrounds of soil potentially toxic elements (PTEs). However, the use of uniform geochemical baseline values (GBVs) frequently leads to misclassification between natural enrichment and anthropogenic contamination, hindering accurate source identification and...

Spatial Distribution, Source Apportionment, and Source-Specific Ecological Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in Farmland Soils of the Ningxia Yellow River Irrigation Area
To characterize heavy metal accumulation, potential sources, and source-specific ecological risks in farmland soils of the Ningxia Yellow River Irrigation Area, 537 topsoil samples were analyzed for As, Hg, Cd, Pb, and Cr. positive matrix factorization (PMF) was coupled with the potential ecological risk index to quant...

Cadmium in global topsoil: Spatial distribution, associated factors, and cropland exposure screening.
Soil cadmium (Cd) pollution is a persistent concern for soil quality, crop production, and food safety. Despite global concerns, spatial predictions of topsoil Cd remain challenging due to limitations in model accuracy, covariate representation, and nonlinearity handling. This study addresses these gaps by integrating...
