The current research gap is the need for a comprehensive assessment of the ecological and health risks associated with heavy metal(loid)s in highway roadside soil. There is a lack of studies that provide a detailed evaluation of the extent of contamination and the associated risks. The paper identifies the need for a clearer attribution of contamination to vehicular emissions.
