“…The elevated Zn, Cd, Pb, Ni, Fe and Cu in the top soils are due to ongoing deposition of the PTEs in soils within the automobile sites and their consequent retention in the upper layers of the soil. The elevated concentration of the metals reflects the impact of anthropogenic effects due to past uses of the PTEs in industrial processes and consumer products (for example quarrying activities [20].…”

Global concern is on the rise of ecological and human health risk associated with unregulated and unabated discharge of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) into the environment. This work investigated the concentration of PTEs, evaluated the sources and level of soil pollution and analyzed the level of ecological and human health risks. The study involves sample size (n =120) of one hundred and twenty soil samples collected from six spatial different areas of Ebonyi State. Determination of the concentration of the PTEs was executed using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The degree of discrete distribution of the concentration of PTEs and relationship among them was achieved using descriptive statistical analysis and correlation coefficient. Automobile sites based on the result proved to have higher concentrations of PTEs in relation to nonerosive soils. The mean concentration of Zn, Cd, Pb, Ni, Fe and Cu were 689.48, 0.649, 694, 48.84, 6039.82 and 91.02 mg/kg respectively in automobile sites while in nonerosive soils, it was 8.33, 0.26, 2.82, 1.21, 11.99 and 4.36 mg/kg respectively. The overall ecological risk index and degree of contamination are 317.21 and 59.69 for automobile sites and 72.22 and 2.76 for non –erosive sites respectively. This indicates automobile sites to be of high degree of contamination and of high ecological risk. Evaluation of carcinogenic risk shows that Zn, Cu, Ni and Pb are of high cancer risks in the automobile sites for children and adults. Among all the studied PTEs, Zn and Pb poses significant health and ecological risks.

“…The data can reflect sediment quality such as pollution states and degradation level nutrient cycle and understand the current states of actual/chronic effect on water pollution because it was well known that sediment can be regarded as important indicators for the sites (Atta and Xiao 2019;Allafta and Opp 2020;Kadhum 2020). Recent findings revealed that severe pollution was found in estuaries areas such as Nigeria (Tunde and Oluwagbenga 2020), Malaysia (Udechukwu et al 2015), Brazil (Fonseca et al 2020), New Zealand (Bastakoti et al 2018), Atlantic Ocean (Bessa et al 2020), Patagonia (Idaszkin et al 2020), Egypt (Youssef et al 2020), Italy (Arienzo et al 2020), Bangladesh (Hossain 2019), and South Africa (Babatunde et al 2015). Chen et al (2010) found that an elevated concentration of Fe, Mn, and Zn was found in Daya Bay, China, probably due to improper treatment of industrial effluent.…”

The objective of this research is to investigate the pollution levels of tin (Sn), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and zinc (Zn) of soil/sediment taken in Coles Bay Area (CBA), Svalbard, and Great Bay Area (GBA), China, in an attempt to evaluate the pollution potential related to recent development in the areas. A total of 150 soil/sediment samples were collected in each location. Heavy metal concentrations were detectable levels at all sites and the values of Cd of all soil/sediment samples were higher than Dutch Target and Intervention Values. Heavy metal concentration in soil/sediment was further analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA). It was revealed that three components were found in two studying sites and contributed 60.2% and 75.9% of variations to reflect soil/sediment quality in CBA and GBA, respectively. Based on the results of KMO (0.52) and Bartlett's test (p < 0.000), there are 32.1%, 15.6%, and 11.1% and 39.45%, 19.01%, and 17.52% of the variance in the first, second, and third component explained that the metal concentration of Pb, Cd, and Sn was highly correlated with the soil/sediment quality in CBA and GBA, respectively. Among these three heavy metals, Cd concentration was the common dominant factor to affect soil/sediment quality in these two study sites. It is recommended that investigation of the sources of pollution (either point or non-point source) during CBA or GBA development and management together with consideration of abiotic (soil)-biotic (organisms) interactions should be taken into account when choosing suitable remediation strategies in the future.
