To investigate and assess the characteristics of cadmium, lead, and zinc in the soil and crops in the farmland around the old industrial area in the south of Baotou City, this study analyzed and tested the heavy metal content in soil, crop root soil, and seeds, assess the pollution according to relevant standards, and conducted the risk assessment and source analysis of heavy metals using the pollution index, the bioconcentration factor, and human health risk index. The results are as follows:Regarding the soil environmental quality, the soils in the study area are dominated by clean soils, with the polluted soils distributed primarily on both sides of the old sewage canals.The sites of over-limit root soils are also primarily distributed around the old sewage canals.Among the heavy metal morphologies, carbonate-bound, Fe-Mn-bound, and residue heavy metals account for relatively high proportions, while exchangeable heavy metals (water-soluble and ion-exchange) account for relatively low proportions. Most of the seed samples exhibited normal and low enrichment of heavy metals. Compared with other crops, sunflower seeds showed super adsorptivity of cadmium, lead, and zinc, posing significant non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks to children and adults.
