Abstract: The aim of this study is to discuss the concentration distribution, composition and possible sources of trace metals and 13 PAHs in topsoils of the University campus, in the city of São Paulo, the largest city of South America. Mineralogy and granulometry of topsoils (0-10 cm) samples, were determined and As,

“…The relationship between the content of most chemical elements in soilsincluding metalswith the development of living organisms and the concentration of these elements in them is considered in several works (Bourotte et al 2019;Lenoir et al 2019;Tepanosyan et al 2017). We note only that, as when studying other landscapes, the following factors must be taken into account in urban areas at this level:…”

“…Among the urban landscapes of almost all localities, there are various educational institu tions, kindergartens, hospitals, and public baths (Bourotte et al 2019;Famuyiwa et al 2019). When assessing the overall environmental situation in localities, special attention should be paid to both their number and the uniformity of distribution.…”

“…Current efforts are devoted towards the remediation of combined soil contamination caused by the simultaneous exposure of various HM and PAH compounds for several reasons [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Firstly, the most significant sources of pollutants, such as transport, fuel and energy companies, are widespread.…”

“…They are a major source of metal pollution in surrounding atmospheric particles, roadside soils, and stream sediments, as they can be readily transported into aquatic and atmospheric environments by stormwater runoff and resuspension by the wind (Bretón et al 2019;Jeong et al 2020b;Khalid et al 2018;Nawrot et al 2020;Popoola et al 2017;Wang and Zhang 2018). Heavy metal concentrations such as Cu, Zn, and Pb in RDS have been used as tracers to identify metal pollution associated with traffic activities, but they are of limited use in discerning the exact source of pollution for each metal (Amato et al 2009(Amato et al , 2011(Amato et al , 2020cBourotte et al 2019;Hwang et al 2016;Jeong et al 2020a).…”
