Abstract

Expanded Abstract 1. Introduction It is inevitable to analyze the existing contaminant elements in soil as the most important source of nutrition for human. Heavy metals are considered and referred among these elements. The contaminated soils of urbanized regions are directly related to human, while these elements are absorbed by plants, through which they enter the human food cycle. The excessive increase of these elements results in the growing incidence of diseases such as cancer. Moreover, the irresolvability of these materials may have dangerous impacts on the human digestion as well as nervous systems. Contamination, due to Heavy metals in soil, has even resulted in some animals’ death. There are various factors involved in soil contamination. One of main factors is the incorrect use and increasingly irregular exploitation of nature by human beings. In Iran, inappropriate economic exploitation of agricultural fields and aberrant use of chemicals have led to the higher concentration of Heavy metals in soil, turning to a crucial problem in certain areas. The most significant cause of soil contamination is the wrong use of chemical fertilizers, resulting in the agglomeration of Heavy metals in soil. Therefore, it is inevitable to identify the spatial distribution of these elements. The geo-statistical instruments have facilitated the quantification of soil spatial characteristics, whereby leading to the probability of spatial interpolation. Objectives of the study are: (i) to prepare zoning maps of elements including Zinc, Copper, Iron, Manganese and Potassium using mathematics and geo-statistics methods as well as choosing the most optimum technique of spatial interpolation by comparing RMSE, MAE and MBE; (ii) to analyze the probable spatial correlation between the concentration of these elements in agricultural soils; (iii) to distinguish the regions affected by the excessive contamination higher than the threshold limit of general index and WHO standard and also Iran’ s Soil and Water Research Institute’ s standard.
