Utilizing PMF and Monte Carlo-based models to evaluate toxic metal enrichment pathways, sources, and public health risks in an unplanned urbanized dumpsite soil
The PMF model identified three contamination sources. Cd posed the highest ecological risk, while Fe, Mn, Co, and Ni dominated health risks. Both adults and children had 100% carcinogenic risk probability, with more vulnerability in children.
