Past studies have revealed that human exposure to high concentrations of heavy metals will lead to their accumulation in the human body [9]. Heavy metal exposure to human occurs through three primary routes namely inhalation, ingestion and skin absorption. The threat that heavy metals pose to human and animal health is aggravated by their low environmental mobility, even under high precipitations, and their long term persistence in the environment [10]. Rising metal concentration in soil is serious and current concern for governmental and regulatory bodies for environmental and human risk assessment [11]. Therefore, the use of simple and accurate methods for monitoring heavy metals has a great importance among the environmental studies [12]. The assessment of heavy metal contamination can be conducted using various methods such as total heavy metal concentration [4]. The present study assessed heavy metal pollution in soils employing Pollution index (PI).
