“…While in the Zdounky and Radiowo areas, the sequence was ingestion > dermal absorption > inhalation, Wang et al ( 2020 ) found that in MSW landfill sites, the order was inhalation > dermal absorption > ingestion. By contrast, Wang et al ( 2020 ), Rouhani et al ( 2022 ) found that inhalation of HMs was almost negligible compared to other exposure ways. Olagunju et al ( 2020 ), based on their research performed in the area of Awotan Landfill in Ibadan (Southwest Nigeria), also found that inhalation of soil does not pose health hazards due to HMs.…”

“…Rouhani et al ( 2022 ) also revealed that the HQ and HI values for all HMs found in soils were lower than 1, indicating no non-carcinogenic risk from these elements. In contrast to these findings, Obiri-Nyarko et al ( 2021 ) reported HI values equal to 1.72, indicating the presence of health risks associated with landfills.…”

This study investigates human health risks associated with heavy metals (HMs) occurrence in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. For testing of selected MSW landfills steps were involved, including site characterization, soil sampling and chemical testing, statistical analysis, as well as health risk assessment, carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic effects. For the Polish landfill (Radiowo) the average HMs concentrations were found in the following order: Zn (52.74 mg/kg DM) > Pb (28.32 mg/kg DM) > Cu (12.14 mg/kg DM) > Ni (4.50 mg/kg DM) > Cd (3.49 mg/kg DM), while for the Czech landfill (Zdounky): Zn (32.05 mg/kg DM) > Cu (14.73 mg/kg DM) > Ni (4.73 mg/kg DM) > Pb (0.10 mg/kg DM) = Cd (0.10 mg/kg DM). Strong positive correlations between selected HMs demonstrated identical origins. Principal component analysis (PCA) performed for the Radiowo landfill transferred the soil parameters into three principal components (PCs), accounting for 87.12% of the total variance. The results of the PCA analysis for the Zdounky landfill revealed three PCs responsible for 95.16% of the total variance. The exposure pathways of HMs for landfills were in the following order: ingestion > dermal absorption > inhalation. For both landfills, the values of hazard quotient were lower than 1, indicating no potential negative health effects. In terms of the hazard index (HI), for both landfills, no adverse human health effects occur (HI < 1). The incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) values indicated negligible or acceptable carcinogenic risk of HMs (average ILCR in the range from 5.01E−10 to 5.19E−06).

“…Moreover, heavy metals and their methyl compounds can slowly accumulate in the human body by entering through the food chain from the environment. This accumulation can cause harm to various organs, including the nervous system, kidneys, brain, and skin, thus posing a severe hazard to human health [6,7]. In 2014, the Chinese general survey of soil contamination, conducted by the Ministry of Land and Resources and China's Ministry of Environmental Protection, revealed that approximately 16.1% of the monitored soil points were polluted, with Minerals 2024, 14, 495 2 of 17 inorganic pollutants, such as heavy metals, making up 82.8% of the total contaminated soil samples [8].…”

Soil heavy metal contamination poses a significant threat to both environmental health and ecological safety. To investigate the influencing factors, ecological hazards, and sources analysis of heavy metals in purple soil, 27 sets of soil samples were collected from varying genetic horizons within Guang’an City, and the contents of As, Cd, Cu, Cr, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn were analyzed. The results indicated higher concentrations of heavy metals in soil A horizon, compared to that of C horizon. The relevance analysis indicated that the soil’s heavy metals were strongly correlated with the soil’s physicochemical properties. The enrichment factor, pollution load index, and potential risk index highlighted slightly to severely polluted levels of soil Cd and Hg, which significantly contribute to the ecological hazards posed by soil heavy metals. The potential source of heavy metals analyzed using the APCS-MLR model identified both anthropogenic inputs and natural sources as primary contributors to heavy metal presence in soils. The Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb, and Zn contents in the samples from different genetic horizons were chiefly influenced by natural sources, such as soil matrix erosion and weathering, while the concentrations of Cd and Hg were largely affected by anthropogenic activities, specifically coal combustion and agriculture. Conversely, the As content was found to be influenced by a combination of both factors. Anthropogenic activities greatly impacted soil heavy metals at various depths within the study area, thereby underscoring the importance of monitoring these heavy metals. The findings gained from this research can give a scientific basis for the potential utilization of purple soil.
