Discussion

Analysis shows significant heavy metal pollution in agricultural soils near industrial parks, indicating urgent ecological risk.

Heavy metal pollution levels in agricultural soils exceed local background values by factors up to 11.2.
The ecological risk assessment identified cadmium as the major risk factor among the heavy metals studied.
Geostatistical models demonstrated elevated heavy metal concentrations in specific subregions of the Yellow River bend.
Health risk assessments suggest that non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks for both adults and children are within acceptable limits.

Liu et al. (2025) studied this question.
