Implication

This analysis reveals low levels of heavy metal contamination in soil samples from Saudi Arabia, suggesting potential risks and environmental monitoring needs.

Key Points

Soil samples showed low contamination levels for heavy metals, indicating minimal current risk to local populations.
The study calculated potential ecological risk index (PERI) and modified degree of contamination (mCd) averages of 26.6 and 0.6, respectively.
Using GIS and statistical analysis, the research identified natural sources of heavy metals, except for zinc, which may originate from human activities.
Findings support the need for ongoing monitoring of heavy metals to protect human health and contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goals.
