dc.description.abstractSoil pollution with trace elements (TEs) has become an increasingly serious environmental concern, however, assessment of ecological and human health risks especially in intensive agricultural regions remains limited. In this study, the contents of ten TEs (Al, As, Pb, Cr, Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Mn and Fe) in soil samples from 204 sampling sites in the Harran Plain (Turkey) were examined to evaluate possible sources, pollution status and environmental, ecological and health risks of these elements. Only As and Ni exceeded the upper continental crust concentrations. Among ten TEs, Ni and As had the highest mean values of enrichment factor (EF) and contamination factor (Cf), indicating that soils showed moderate enrichment and moderate contamination with these elements. Ecological risk factor and ecological risk index values of all samples were <40 and <150, respectively, indicating low ecological risk in the study area. Factor analysis and correlation analysis indicated that Al, Pb, Cr, Cu, Zn, Co, Mn and Fe mainly originated from natural sources, Ni from mixed sources of anthropogenic and lithogenic origins, while arsenic primarily originated from anthropogenic activities. The hazard quotient values for both adults and children did not exceed 1, suggesting that all TEs in soil through ingestion, dermal contact and inhalation pathways had no significant non-carcinogenic risks. Children were more susceptible to non-carcinogenic health effects of TEs in soils. The carcinogenic risk values of As, Co, Cr and Ni were within the acceptable risk range, indicating that carcinogenic risks were not expected.en_US
