Portable X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) was recognized as an efficient and promising tools to study the contents of chemical elements in various media including soils under the impact of anthropogenic activities. However, the quality of data and the equality of chemical elements with other common analytical methods such as aqua-regia extraction vary depending on site, sample conditions, and analysis time. In this study, we examine the adequacy of XRF and ICP-ES/ICP-MS aqua-regia extractable (AR) results obtained for lab-type pretreated samples (N = 15) for Ti, Fe, Mn, Co, V, Pb, Zn, Cu, Cr, Mo, Sr, and As contents in soils under the impact of copper smelter and assess the equality of PTE contents induced health risk. The obtained results suggested that XRF reached definitive data quality level for As, Zn, and Mn and screening (quantitative) data quality level established for Cu, Pb, Fe, Mo, Cr, V, and Ti. Moreover, in some cases (i.e., for Ti) XRF overperformed AR indicating the high efficiency of XRF application when sparingly soluble mineral matrices are presented. At the same time, PTE induced health risk assessment at the established data quality level showed that equality of non-carcinogenic children health risk was observed for As, Zn, Cu, Pb, Mn, and V. The latter indicating the applicability of XRF to generate reliable base for risky sites identification and characterization.

便携式 X 射线荧光光谱 (XRF) 被认为是一种有效且有前途的工具，可用于研究在人为活动影响下包括土壤在内的各种介质中的化学元素含量。然而，数据质量和化学元素与其他常用分析方法（如王水提取）的平等性因地点、样品条件和分析时间而异。在本研究中，我们检查了实验室型预处理样品（N = 15) 对铜冶炼厂影响下土壤中的 Ti、Fe、Mn、Co、V、Pb、Zn、Cu、Cr、Mo、Sr 和 As 含量，评估 PTE 含量对健康风险的影响。获得的结果表明，XRF 达到了确定的 As、Zn 和 Mn 数据质量水平，以及确定了 Cu、Pb、Fe、Mo、Cr、V 和 Ti 的筛选（定量）数据质量水平。此外，在某些情况下（即，对于 Ti），XRF 的表现优于 AR，表明当呈现难溶性矿物基质时 XRF 应用的高效率。同时，在既定数据质量水平上的 PTE 诱导健康风险评估表明，对于 As、Zn、Cu、Pb、Mn 和 V，非致癌儿童的健康风险是相等的。后者表明 XRF 适用于为风险站点识别和表征提供可靠的基础。
