Heavy Metal Soil Concentrations at Bangladeshi Landfills Compared to Global Data

9.5 KB of data compares average heavy metal concentrations (mg/kg) in soils from landfill sites in Bangladesh with global literature data. The dataset was authored by Sanjida Sultana Santa and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated on May 21, 2026.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking local soil contamination levels against global averages based on the comparative heavy metal concentration data.
• Assessing pollution risks from landfill sites based on the heavy metal concentration data.
• Supporting environmental policy and remediation planning based on the soil contamination data.

Strengths

• Data is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
• Provides a direct comparison between local (Bangladesh) and global soil contamination data.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (9.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
