- •
Pollution by toxic elements is topical in urban areas, Yerevan is not an exception.
- •
Topsoils of Yerevan are highly polluted by Pb, Cu, Zn, Ni, Cr, Hg and Mo.
- •
Geostatistical analyses prove anthropogenic origin of Pb, Cu, Zn, Hg, Cr, Ni, Mo.
- •
Pb and Hg demonstrate a higher potential ecological risk in the topsoils.
