Potentially Toxic Elements in Agricultural Soils of an Arid Region: Deterministic and Probabilistic Assessment of Direct Non-Dietary Exposure and Ingestion-Based Human Health Risk

Direct contact with soil and dust may expose people to potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in cultivated soils. We analyzed As, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, V, and Zn in 35 agricultural soil samples from Al Ghat, central Saudi Arabia, using contamination indices alongside deterministic and probabilistic exposure assessments....
