Abstract
) in >75 % of all LUs. Cd contributed >50 % and >70 % to ILCR for children and adults along roadsides, respectively. Our findings can guide future research on the links between soil PTEs and human health risks in developing countries. We recommend establishing effective management strategies to reduce risks to human health based on the presence of PTEs in Sudanese soils.
