Ecological risk assessment for heavy metal contamination of a new consideration—Agricultural soils

The contamination of soils has a direct impact on human health. The ecological risk assessment for heavy metal contamination of agricultural soils (ERAHMCA) is of vital importance. Although the overall concentrations of PTEs in the soils are usually taken into consideration a important factor of assessment for PTEs contamination, this study, by taking it into consideration that the main-path for ecological risk of heavy metal contamination of agricultural soil is soil-vegetation-man, intr…
