Comprehensive analysis of spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soils of China, and associated driving mechanism and health risks is crucial for soil pollution prevention and risk control. In this study, a total of 8 PTEs in agricultural soils of 236 city case data from 31 provinces of China were collected from literatures published between 2000 and 2022. The pollution level, dominant drivers and probabilistic health risks of PTEs were analyzed using geo-accumulation index (Igeo), geo-detector model, and Monte Carlo simulation, re-spectively. The results indicated a notably accumulation of Cd and Hg, with Igeo of 1.13 and 0.63, respectively. Cd, Hg and Pb showed strong spatial heterogeneity, whereas As, Cr, Cu, Ni, and Zn has no significant differentiation. PM10 was the dominant driver for accumulation of Cd (0.248), Cu (0.141), Pb (0.108), and Zn (0.232), and PM2.5 has a signifi-cant effect on accumulation of Hg (0.245); however, soil parent material was primary driver for accumulation of As (0.066), Cr (0.113), and Ni (0.149). PM10 boolean AND wind speed accounted for 72.6 % of Cd accumulation, and mining industry boolean AND soil parent materials for 54.7 % of As accumulation. Approximately 38.53 %, 23.90 %, and 12.08 % of the hazard index values exceeded 1 for the minors aged 3-< 6, 6-< 12, and 12-< 18 years, respectively; whereas approximately 0.22 %, 0.21 %, 0.20%, 0.54 % and 0.42 % of the carcinogenic risk values were greater than 1E-04 for individuals aged 3-< 6, 6-< 12,12-< 18,18-< 44, and 44-< 70 years, respectively. As and Cd were considered as priority elements for soil pollution prevention and risk control in China. Moreover, the hotspots of PTE pollution and associated health risks were mainly observed in southern, southwestern and central China. The results of this study provided a scientific basis for developing strategies for pollution prevention and risk control of soil PTEs in China. |
