“…Pb concentration in this study is higher when compared to concentrations detected in soils in the industrial area of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam [57]. Sewage disposal, disposal of wastes, use of fertilizers and pesticides and the exhaust of automobiles have been implicated to be other anthropogenic sources of Pb in the environment [58].…”

Crude oil spills have inflicted extensive disruption upon the Niger Delta ecosystem, resulting in crop loss and severe environmental damage. Such spills exacerbate heavy metal concentration within soil due to the presence of metallic ions. The Okpare-Olomu community has borne the brunt of crude oil pollution from illicit bunkering, sabotage, and equipment malfunction. This study targets an evaluation of ecological hazards linked to heavy metals (HMs) in crude oil impacted agriculturally soils within Okpare-Olomu in Ughelli South LGA of Delta State. In this study, 24 topsoil samples were obtained from areas affected by crude oil pollution; the heavy metal content was evaluated through atomic absorption spectrometry. The concentration ranges for HMs (mg/kg) in soil were: 24.1 -23,174 (Cu); 0.54 -37.1 (Cd); 9.05 -54 (Cr); 12 -174 (Ni); 18.5 -8611 (Pb); and 148 -9078 (Zn) at a soil depth of 0 -15 cm. Notably, metal concentrations were recorded to be above permissible World Health Organization limits. Predominantly, Zn and Pb recorded higher heavy metal concentration when compared to other heavy metals analysed, notably at sampling points PT7 through PT24. Zinc and Pb contamination exhibited highly significant contamination factors, and contamination severity was evidenced across all sample points, signifying a grave risk level. Pollution load indices indicated pervasive extreme pollution levels.

“…ZA dissolves in water (NH4)2SO4 + H2O -> NH4OH + H2SO4, where H2SO4 is a strong acid that can decrease soil pH (Atmadja et al, 2021). In addition, low soil pH will also increase the solubility of heavy metals so that they are more easily absorbed and accumulated in plant biomass (Binh et al, 2021).…”

Lead (Pb) is a toxic heavy metal for humans. Agrochemical applications contribute to Pb contamination and accumulation in plants which is harmful to humans. This study aims to investigate the habits of horticultural farmers in applying inorganic fertilizers and pesticides intensively on Pb concentration in the soil and cultivated plants, and its effect on plant growth. The measured parameters consisted of soil and plant Pb content, soil pH, organic C, total N, available P, and exchangeable K. This study used a randomized block design consisting of 4 treatments (Control (KT); (PR); (TN); and (TP)). The results showed that horticultural farmers' dosage of inorganic fertilizers exceeded Indonesia Ministry of Agriculture recommendation. The application of inorganic fertilizers and pesticides by farmers (business as usual) increased Pb content in plants up to 31.46 mg/kg. Besides the application of inorganic fertilizers increases fertilizer residues in the soil by up to 65%, which increases environmental pollution even though the application of inorganic fertilizers increases plant growth and production (shoot length, the number of leaves, and plant dry weight). Thus, wisely applying agrochemicals is required in order to support plant growth and production without further environmental problems.

“…Lead is also abundant in the soil of those areas with marked air pollution as it is often found attached to the particulate matters [11]. Moreover, the accumulation of Pb in the soil may also be due to continuous use of pesticide as Acetochlor and Glyphosate [12,13]. However, the primary cause of alarming levels of Pb in the soil may be due to the parent materials in the soil as Granite and gneiss [10].…”

Aims: The study was carried out in order to find the hotspots of Cadmium and Lead accumulation in the soil due to the anthropogenic activities, so that proper management strategies can be taken on time for their remediation. Study Design: Different geospatial techniques as Normal Q-Q plot, histogram, trend analysis and semi-variogram cloud model is used. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted emphasizing basically in high agricultural chemicals dependent Nagaon District of Assam, India, from 2018 to 2021. Methodology: Heavy metals were assessed using a random sampling method with a 5 x 5 km2 grid, and a total of 160 samples were collected from a depth of 0 – 15 cm for soil. Choropleth maps were created to show the distribution and hotspots of pollution. Results: Geospatial analyses from different thematic maps of heavy metals revealed significant vulnerable points of elevated concentrations of Pb (>24.45 mg/kg) and Cd (>0.31 mg/kg) in soil which is presumed to be due to anthropogenic factors. The three-dimensional trend over the distribution of metals throughout the district best fitted the second-order polynomial for Cd, and Pb in soils. Significant numbers of pairs of heavy metal pairs to a certain extent were found to be spatially autocorrelated and all the pairs away from X-axis towards the extreme right corner and far above the axis reflected less influence of local characteristics of the heavy metal. Co-variance cloud with search direction from North to South revealed the existence of spatial autocorrelation and a wider spatial shift of correlation towards the southern direction. Conclusion: The current study provides baseline data to update the mitigation approaches to better manage the heavy metal contamination in soil in the entire district.
