Highlights (1) Quantified the level of heavy metal(loid) pollution around the metal ore processing, mining and smelting factories in Chifeng. (2) Heavy metal(loid) risks were assessed based on optimized ecological and health risk model. (3) Cd, As and Pb posed a relatively serious threat to the region. (4) Targeted emission reduction and soil remediation measures are required to reduce heavy metal(loid) pollution in factories.
