Metals in residential soils and cumulative risk assessment in Yaqui and Mayo agricultural valleys, northern Mexico

► Soil metal pollution associated with the Green Revolution in Mexico is studied. ► High levels of V, Cr, Ni, Mn, and Co are spatially associated to power plants. ► P, S, and Se are spatially associated to agricultural areas. ► Risk assessment shows a probability of adverse health effects. ► Metals are less enriched in dust fraction when compared to bulk soils
