“…A study by Zhuang et al (2018) showed that the concentrations of Pb, Fe, Ni and Cr in the soil of industrial towns were significantly higher than the permitted standard, which is in line with the present study in relation to lead metal in agricultural use. Wan et al (2018) stated that the high degree of contamination of heavy metals indicates severe metal pollution and the anthropogenic source of these metals.…”

There is a lack of information about urban transport activity in adding heavy elements to the environment. This research assesses concentration some of heavy elements in the deposited atmospheric dust in Yazd bus terminals. Dust samples were collected from the green space in the bus terminals of urban transportation. Following the digestion by nitric acid, determination of the total metal concentration of cadmium(Cd), cobalt(Co), copper(Cu), nickel(Ni), lead(Pb), zinc(Zn), chromium(Cr), and manganese(Mn) in the dust were performed via Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. The map representing the spatial distribution of metals was plotted and their source was identified using Pearson correlation coefficients, Principal Component Analysis(PCA), and Cluster Analysis(CA). The findings indicated that the mean concentration of heavy metals in the deposited dust on the leaves of the trees was in the following order; Cd

“…Their ubiquity and certain characteristics have become worrying due to their occurrence in several forms in the environment. Heavy metals are categorized as the most toxic and lethal pollutants which have already caused many anthropogenic catastrophes and currently cause disruption in the normal functioning of ecosystems and food webs, especially since the advent of the industrial revolution [5]. The first incident that disturbed the humanity was Minamata disease which was one of the most serious cases of diseases resulted from environmental contamination of water by wastewater discharged from a nearby industrial plant containing Methyl mercury, which contaminated the marine life of the surrounding waters and affected and poisoned those who ate the affected fish and seafood [6].…”

This paper revises the fundamental facts about potentially toxic elements belonging to the group of heavy metals. The study highlights the ongoing soil pollution status affected by these non-biodegradable elements, the basic characteristics of these metals that make them toxic, their mode of accumulation in different trophic levels, their toxic effect on human beings and the probable remediation technologies being used to remediate soils contaminated with heavy metal when the pollution problem has evolved. The technologies focused on solidification, soil washing, soil flushing, electro-kinetic remediation and phytoremediation are presented. The choice of the technology to be used for remediation depends on the condition of the soil and the extent of contamination. Conventional electro-kinetics is the most effective and rapid technology, but on the scale of ecosystem restoration, phytoremediation is an eco-friendly, green and cost-effective solution.

This paper narrates a non-linear and non-local Caputo fractal fractional operator of eco epidemic model with the advance of soil pollution considered in five compartments. The qualitative analysis of solutions such as existence and uniqueness of the model is carried out by using the standard condition of Schauder’s fixed point theorem and Banach Contraction principle. The local and global stability are characterized with the help of basic reproduction number. The Ulam-Hyer stability is analyzed for the small perturbation. The Power law kernel is used to get a reliable result for the soil pollution model. Analytical solution studied by means of Modified Euler method. Numerical simulation of Euler scheme algorithm is performed to show the effects of various fractional orders and validating the theoretical parameter values of real time data by the support of MATLAB.
