Abstract

Soil contamination by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) represents a significant environmental and public health concern worldwide. This abstract examines the assessment of human health risks and carcinogenic potential associated with exposure to PTEs in contaminated soils. PTEs such as lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury are known for their detrimental health effects, including carcinogenicity, developmental disorders, and neurological impairments. Assessing these risks involves integrating environmental monitoring, exposure pathway analysis, toxicological studies, and epidemiological research. Regulatory frameworks and risk assessment methodologies play crucial roles in establishing safe exposure limits and guiding remediation efforts. Effective management strategies include soil remediation, regulatory standards enforcement, and community education to minimize exposure and protect public health. Continued research and comprehensive risk assessments are essential to addressing the complexities of soil contamination and ensuring sustainable environmental and human health outcomes.
