The sustenance of humans and livestock depends on the protection of the soil. Consequently, the pollution of the soil with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) is of great concern to humanity. The objective of this study is to investigate the source apportionment, concentration levels and spatial distribution of PTEs in selected soils in Frýdek-Místek District of the Czech Republic. The total number of soil samples was 70 (topsoil 49 and 21 subsoils) and was analysed using a portable XRF machine. Contamination factor and the pollution index load were used for the assessment and interpreting the pollution and distribution of PTEs in the soils. The inverse distance weighting was used for the spatial evaluation of the PTEs. The results of the analysis showed that the area is composed of low-to-high pollution site. PTEs displayed spatial variation patterns. The average PTE concentration decreases in this Fe > Ti > Ba > Zr > Rb > Sr > Cr > Y>Cu > Ni > Th order for the topsoil and also decreases in this Fe > Ti > Zr > Ba > Rb > Sr > Cr > Y > Cu > Ni > and Th order for the subsoil. These PTEs Cr, Ni, Cu, Rb, Y, Zr, Ba, Th, and Fe were far above the baseline European average value and the World average value level, respectively. The source apportionment showed the dominance of Cr, Ni, Rb, Ti, Th, Zr, Cu, Fe in the topsoil, while the subsoil was dominated by all the PTEs (factor 1 to 6) except Ba. The study concludes that indiscriminate human activities have an enormous effect on soil pollution.

人和牲畜的维持取决于对土壤的保护。因此，人类对潜在污染性元素（PTE）的土壤污染非常关注。这项研究的目的是调查捷克共和国Frýdek-Místek区选定土壤中PTE的来源分配，浓度水平和空间分布。土壤样本总数为70个（表土49和21个底土），并使用便携式XRF机进行了分析。利用污染因子和污染指数负荷对土壤中PTE的污染和分布进行评估和解释。反向距离权重用于PTE的空间评估。分析结果表明，该区域由低污染到高污染组成。PTE显示空间变化模式。在表层土壤中，Fe> Ti> Ba> Zr> Rb> Sr> Cr> Y> Cu> Ni> Th级的平均PTE浓度降低，并且在此Fe> Ti> Zr> Ba> Rb> Sr> Cr中平均PTE浓度也降低> Y> Cu> Ni>和Th为下层土。这些PTE Cr，Ni，Cu，Rb，Y，Zr，Ba，Th和Fe分别远高于基准欧洲平均值和世界平均值水平。源解析显示，表层土壤中Cr，Ni，Rb，Ti，Th，Zr，Cu，Fe占主导地位，而除Ba以外，所有PTE（因子1至6）均主导着地下土壤。研究得出结论，不加选择的人类活动对土壤污染具有巨大影响。Y> Cu> Ni> Th对表层土而言，并且在Fe> Ti> Zr> Ba> Rb> Sr> Cr> Y> Cu> Ni>中对Th表层土也递减。这些PTE Cr，Ni，Cu，Rb，Y，Zr，Ba，Th和Fe分别远高于基准欧洲平均值和世界平均值水平。源解析显示，表层土壤中Cr，Ni，Rb，Ti，Th，Zr，Cu，Fe占主导地位，而除Ba以外，所有PTE（因子1至6）均主导着地下土壤。研究得出结论，不加选择的人类活动对土壤污染具有巨大影响。Y> Cu> Ni> Th对表层土而言，并且在Fe> Ti> Zr> Ba> Rb> Sr> Cr> Y> Cu> Ni>中对Th表层土也递减。这些PTE Cr，Ni，Cu，Rb，Y，Zr，Ba，Th和Fe分别远高于基准欧洲平均值和世界平均值水平。源解析显示，表层土壤中Cr，Ni，Rb，Ti，Th，Zr，Cu，Fe占主导地位，而除Ba以外，所有PTE（因子1至6）均主导着地下土壤。研究得出结论，不加选择的人类活动对土壤污染具有巨大影响。和铁分别远高于基准欧洲平均值和世界平均值水平。源解析显示，表层土壤中Cr，Ni，Rb，Ti，Th，Zr，Cu，Fe占主导地位，而除Ba以外，所有PTE（因子1至6）均主导着地下土壤。研究得出结论，不分青红皂白的人类活动对土壤污染有巨大影响。和铁分别远高于基准欧洲平均值和世界平均值水平。源解析显示，表层土壤中Cr，Ni，Rb，Ti，Th，Zr，Cu，Fe占主导地位，而除Ba以外，所有PTE（因子1至6）均主导着地下土壤。研究得出结论，不加选择的人类活动对土壤污染具有巨大影响。
