Based on the heavy metal contents and the bioaccessibility of lead and cadmium analyzed using in vitro methods in the soil around recycled lead industrial park, risks of soil lead and cadmium to human health were evaluated. Results showed that the average?values?of lead and cadmium contents in the soil were 124.05, 0.394 mg·kg^-1, which were 4.98 and 2.90 times higher than the background value, respectively. The bioaccessibility of lead and cadmium was significantly different. Lead can accumulate in the soil and would cause a greater risk to human health compared to cadmium. Unintentional intake of lead from the soil provided?a great?contribution?to the total?lead in human body, particularly in the population of children. Soil lead could cause the non-carcinogenic risk and soil cadmium may cause carcinogenic risk to aldults.
