Evaluation of radioactive and heavy metal pollution in agricultural soil surrounding the lignite-fired thermal power plant using pollution indices

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Health Research, 2022
Soil pollution caused by heavy metals negatively affects the environment and human health. However, the assessment of the environmental and ecological risks caused by heavy metals in agricultural soils in developing countries is limited. This study was carried out to determine heavy metal pollution and its possible sources in the agricultural lands ...
