AB  - Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) contamination in the agricultural soil can 
      generate a detrimental effect on the ecosystem and poses a threat to human 
      health. The present work evaluates the PTEs concentration, source identification, 
      probabilistic assessment of health hazards, and dietary risk analysis due to PTEs 
      pollution in the region of the chromite-asbestos mine, India. To evaluate the 
      health risks associated with PTEs in soil, soil tailings and rice grains were 
      collected and studied. The results revealed that the PTEs concentration (mainly 
      Cr and Ni) of total, DTPA-bioavailable, and rice grain was significantly above 
      the permissible limit in site 1 (tailings) and site 2 (contaminated) as compared 
      with site 3 (uncontaminated). The Free ion activity model (FIAM) was applied to 
      detect the solubility of PTEs in polluted soil and their probable transfer from 
      soil to rice grain. The hazard quotient values were significantly higher than the 
      safe (FIAM-HQ < 0.5) for Cr (1.50E+00), Ni (1.32E+00), and, Pb (5.55E+00) except 
      for Cd (1.43E-03), Cu (5.82E-02). Severity adjustment margin of exposure (SAMOE) 
      results denote that the PTEs contaminated raw rice grain has high health risk 
      [Cr(SAMOE): 0.001; Ni(SAMOE): 0.002; Cd(SAMOE): 0.007; Pb(SAMOE): 0.008] for 
      humans except for Cu. The Positive matrix factorization (PMF) along with 
      correlation used to apportion the source. Self-organizing map (SOM) and PMF 
      analysis identified the source of pollution mainly from mines in this region. 
      Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) revealed that TCR (total carcinogenic risk) cannot 
      be insignificant and children were the maximum sufferers relative to adults via 
      ingestion-pathway. In the spatial distribution map, the region nearer to mine is 
      highly prone to ecological risk with respect to PTEs pollution. Based on 
      appropriate and reasonable evaluation methods, this work will help environmental 
      scientists and policymakers' control PTEs pollution in agricultural soils near 
      the vicinity of mines.
