“…The decomposition of organic matter in municipal solid waste by micro-organisms results in hazardous liquids called leachate that consists of organic matter, macro-inorganic components, and heavy metals polluting both soil and aquatic environment [3]. Consequently, in developing countries, landfills with leachate are improperly managed, uncontrolled leachate flows and diffuses and penetrates into the groundwater, therefore, contaminating the surrounding environment and human being in the vicinity of the landfill [6,12]. Besides, most landfills are located near the settlements and some wastes are dumped recklessly without paying attention to environmental implications.…”

“…This results in unhealthy conditions and environmental problems due to the poisoning effects of heavy metals in plants and potential health implications to humans and animals consuming such vegetables [3]. Once heavy metals are introduced into the soil, they cannot be degraded either biological or chemical and can persist in the environment for a long time, therefore, they cause serious environmental pollution and harmful effects to ecosystem including bioaccumulation [12,14]. There is an increasing concern about the likelihood of soil contamination resulting in the introduction of dangerous elements in food chains through uptake by plants and thereby affecting food safety [15].…”

Waste disposal is a serious global environmental threat resulting in heavy metal pollution. Contaminated soil with heavy metals has become a concern for agricultural scientists because of the progress made in agricultural product safety. Heavy metals are metalloids with biological toxicity. The most common are arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn). These metals exist throughout the terrestrial environment and produced from anthropogenic and natural activities. Recently, the landfills have been reported as persecutor to soil contamination, but still, there is no promising way proposed for the waste disposal management in some developing countries. This is the biggest threat to the soil, crops, and the communities living around the dumpsites. Soil polluted with heavy metals result in human health risks, groundwater pollution, plant phytotoxicity and decline in crop and soil production. Absorption of heavy metals through plant roots is the major pathway in which heavy metals penetrate the food chain and their successive crowding along the food chain is a critical threat to animal and human health. The previous findings reported that soil, vegetables, and other food crops around dumpsites are contaminated with heavy metals. The soil contaminated with heavy metals is a leading cause of vegetables and other crops contamination, which is a cause of adverse health outcomes in developing countries' cities. Therefore, there is an urgent need for continuous monitoring of heavy metals in different open dumpsites. The necessary measures to reduce the high concentration of heavy metals in the soil and crops should be put in place. This paper aimed to review the harmful impacts of heavy metal contamination to the soil and crops grown in the vicinity of dumpsites, but also several techniques treating heavy metals pollution in the soil were discussed in this review.

Improper disposal of municipal waste is a serious threat to the environment and a challenge to climate which results in the land, water, and air pollution. Through decomposition processes and life cycle activities, landfill contributes to more than 5% of greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. This study aims to determine the concentration of selected heavy metals around the Putri Cempo landfill. Soil samples were taken in the depth of 0-30 cm. Characterization of soil parameters included soil pH, organic matter (OM), zinc (Zn), and lead (Pb). The result showed soil pH value ranging from 6.07 to 6.85 which is slightly acid, organic matter ranged from 0.95% to 5.87%, while Zinc and lead concentration ranged from 49.2μg/g to 224.7μg/g and 4.3μg/g to 82.4 μg/g respectively and were below the permissible limits of heavy metals in soil recommended by World Health Organization (WHO). The mean concentration of both metals was detected low far from the landfill and higher close to the landfill, which proves that there had been the anthropogenic contribution of heavy metals pollution in the soil through the disposal of wastes. In conclusion, this study serves as a starting point for future environmental studies.

One of the most significant challenges that global decision-makers are concerned about is soil contamination. It is also related to food security and soil fertility. The quality of the soil and crops in Egypt are being severely impacted by the increased heavy metal content of the soils in the middle Nile Delta. In Egypt’s middle Nile Delta, fifty random soil samples were chosen. Inverse distance weighting (IDW) was used to create the spatial pattern maps for four heavy metals: Cd, Mn, Pb, and Zn. The soil contamination levels in the research area were assessed using principal component analysis (PCA), contamination factors (CF), the geoaccumulation index (I-Geo), and the improved Nemerow pollution index (In). The findings demonstrated that using PCA, the soil heavy metal concentrations were divided into two clusters. Moreover, the majority of the study region (44.47%) was assessed to be heavily to extremely polluted by heavy metals. In conclusion, integrating the contamination indices CF, I-Geo, and In with the GIS technique and multivariate model, analysis establishes a practical and helpful strategy for assessing the hazard of heavy metal contamination. The findings could serve as a basis for decision-makers to create effective heavy metal mitigation efforts.
