Source apportionment and risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in soils in industrial cities – a cross-regional study
Urban soils in industrial cities accumulate potentially toxic elements (PTEs) from mixed lithogenic and anthropogenic sources; yet cross-regional comparisons remain rare. This study characterized 14 PTEs in surface, mid-, and deep-layer soils in four industrial cities: Ust-Kamenogorsk and Pavlodar (Kazakhstan), Toruń...
