摘要: The traditional concentration-based health risk assessment of heavy metal (HMs) pollution in soil has often overlooked the initial loading and toxicity differences of HMs from various sources. This oversight hinders effective identification of the risky source, complicating precise risk management of soil HMs pollution. This study applied a source-oriented health risk assessment framework that integrates source profiling, exposure risk assessment, and spatial cluster analysis. Taking the Shanghai City, the largest megacity in China as a case, the findings revealed that overall environmental quality of peri-urban agricultural soil in Shanghai remains good, though 3.03 % of Cd concentrations exceeded the national reference standards. Industrial & traffic activities, primarily contributing Hg, Cd, and Pb, accounted for the highest proportion (44.3 %) of total metal concentrations and posed the greatest non-cancer risk (54.6 % for children and 53.1 % for adults). Notably, natural activities, mainly contributing Cr, ranked only third in concentration contribution (26.55 %) but induced the highest cancer risk (58.55 % for children and 57.08 % for adults). These findings suggest that sources with lower concentration contributions may still pose significant health risk. Integrating source apportionment with health risk assessment can more precisely identify the risky source and target areas for mitigating the human health hazards.
