“…Soil heavy metal levels play a pivotal role in monitoring the impact of human activities on the soil quality (Tong, 2020;Hayyat et al, 2021). Typically, soil heavy metals are introduced into the urban environment through various pathways, such as urban waste, waste disposal, industrial effluents, vehicle emissions, construction waste, and extensive agrochemical usage (Dong et al, 2019;Sun et al, 2019;Zhao et al, 2019;Adimalla, 2020;Chakraborty et al, 2023). The urban environment is a significant source of trace metals from non-exhaust emissions brought on by the deterioration of vehicle components including the brake, tyre, and clutch.…”

Introduction: This study aims to assess the extent of heavy metal contamination in urban soils in sixteen selected cities of Pakistan, encompassing the elements cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), cobalt (Co), zinc (Zn), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), and copper (Cu).Methods: The data utilized for this study was collected from online literature during the period 2005 to 2019. This study investigated potential threats to human health through a comprehensive analysis, considering standards such as Enrichment Factors (EF), Geo-accumulation Indices (Igeo), and Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA).Results: Geo-accumulation Index results indicated varied risk intensities, with Cu, Pb, Co, Mn, and Fe exhibiting “no pollution” levels, while other elements show “moderate to extremely contaminated” values. EF analysis provided evidence of heavy metal presence, revealing a spectrum from “no pollution” to “moderate to extremely high pollution” for Cd, Zn, Cr, Ni, and Cu. The health risk assessment identified both carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic dangers for adults and children.Discussion: These findings highlighted the substantial contribution of identified sources such as industrial processes, vehicular emissions, sewage sludge, urban flooding, and the production and use of metallic materials that have elevated heavy metal levels in the urban soils. This established the link between urban industrial zones, human health, and long-term economic sustainability. This study provides essential guidance for decision makers to develop effective strategies for soil remediation, enhanced industrial practices, and regulatory measures to address heavy metal contamination in urban areas, ensuring the wellbeing and sustainable environmental quality management in cities.

“…The rapid development of industrialization and urbanization led to environmental pollution by discharging plentiful toxic chemicals into the environment which is considered as an alarming issue in the globe, especially for developing countries [ [1] , [2] , [3] ]. Dyes are a coloured ingredient and considered as most hazardous toxic chemicals used widely in various industries such as textiles, leather, paint, cosmetics, rubber, paper, ceramics, varnishes, pulp mills, ink, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and tanneries [ 4 ].…”
