“…Since times past, rice fields are the most dominant land in the rural villages of coastal districts. However, due to high profits from shrimp and salt farming, the rice fields are changing to another use [47][48][49][50]. Shrimp farming has affected around 1 million ha of arable land in the southern coastal area [51].…”

Land use and land cover (LULC) is dynamic and changes in it have important environmental and socio-economic consequences. The pathways and pace of change vary with space and time and are related to the interaction between human activities and biophysical conditions in an area. This study provides a systematic review of the changing status, patterns, and compositions of LULC in Bangladesh on national, regional, and local scales over the past 85 years. The primary LULC classes in Bangladesh are agricultural land, urban and built-up area, forest and vegetation, water bodies, and wetlands. Most of the country is covered with agricultural land, followed by urban areas; the latter has been expanding rapidly in the area surrounding the capital city, Dhaka, especially the southern capital area. Forest cover is mostly concentrated in southeast Bangladesh, the Chittagong district, and the mangrove forests are predominantly located in the southwest, with the Gangetic delta. High population growth, rapid urbanization, and infrastructure development have been directly associated with changing patterns of land use across the country. In recent decades, urban areas and water bodies have been increasing, to the detriment of both forests and agricultural land. Most of the studies reviewed here describe a general trend involving agricultural and forested land being transformed into urban areas.

“…Several studies have reported on health risk of heavy metals contaminations in soils and road dusts (Chen et al, 2015;Wei et al, 2015;Wu et al, 2015). The urban soil contaminated by heavy metals could enter the human body in three ways: ingestion, dermal contact and inhalation (Islam et al, 2015;Olawoyin et al, 2012;Wu et al, 2015). Therefore, children living in the industrial area may easily suffer from high health risk due to the contaminated urban soils.…”

With the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization in the developing country, quite a few pollutants produced by anthropological activities enter into urban soil. A large area of urban soil was polluted by different kinds of pollutants. There have been many pollution events like itai-itai disease in the whole world, and many people suffered from urban soil pollution. As the place where people are highly concentrated,
