Urban soils pollution by trace elements arouses the growing interest in China. The aim of this study was to assess urban soil pollution by As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn in China and the possible impacts on urban inhabitants and urban green spaces (UGS). Data from more than 17,000 samples were applied to characterize the status of 101 cities. The pollution assessment proved that 11% of the cities are heavily polluted. According to the Hazard Index, the value of risk for the infant population in 15 cities exceed the standardly accepted tolerable levels. The carcinogenic risk assessment demonstrated the potential threat in the cities with the total population approximately 20,566,900. Cr and As were detected to be the most hazardous elements. UGS may be seriously threatened by trace elements toxicity in 38 cities. Cd was found to be the riskiest element for UGS. Ecosystem services of UGS can be significantly disrupted under the current situation in China and their status is expected to deteriorate in the future. For this reason, it is essential to alter the policy of the urbanization process and develop functional concepts of urban green infrastructures adapted to the high level of contamination which shall improve human well-being in China.
