Pollution characteristics, spatial distributions, and source apportionment of heavy metals in cultivated soil in Lanzhou, China

For the purpose of pollution assessment, human health risk assessment and quantitative source apportionment of heavy metals in cultivated soils, a total of 382 cultivated soil samples were collected from cultivated of Lanzhou in September 2019. Various indices, including pollution index (PI), Nemero...
