Assessment of heavy metal pollution, spatial distribution and origin in agricultural soils along the Sinú River Basin, Colombia.
TLDR
Soil contamination was mainly derived from agricultural practices, except for Hg, which was caused probably by atmospheric and river flow transport from upstream gold mining, and high concentrations of Ni indicate a mixed pollution source from agricultural and ferronickel mining activities.About:

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of heavy metal contamination in modern day agriculture, and draw a possible road map towards future research in this domain, which aims to catalogue major published works.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contamination source apportionment and health risk assessment of heavy metals in soil around municipal solid waste incinerator: A case study in North China.
TL;DR: The results showed that the soils around the MSWI were moderately polluted by Cu, Pb, Zn, and Hg, and heavily polluted by As and Cd, and MSWI had a significant influence on the distribution of soil heavy metals in different distances from MSWI.

An inventory of heavy metals inputs to agricultural soils in England and Wales.
TL;DR: An inventory of heavy metal inputs to agricultural soils in England and Wales in 2000 is presented, accounting for major sources including atmospheric deposition, sewage sludge, livestock manures, inorganic fertilisers and lime, agrochemicals, irrigation water, industrial by-product 'wastes' and composts.
