Environmental pollutions are considered a significant challenge in all human societies. Heavy metals, recognized as fundamental environmental pollutants, enter the environment through human activities and can pose various environmental hazards. In this study, a comprehensive investigation of environmental pollutions in Aligudarz County is considered as a strategic point in Iran and serves as a model for similar studies worldwide. The research utilizes geochemical, mineralogical, and statistical approaches to examine pollutions, providing innovative and quantitative insights into understanding the geochemistry of the environment and the relationship between pollutions and environmental factors. The results indicate that the study area is subject to moderate to severe pollution from toxic elements, including molybdenum, lead, cadmium, and copper. These pollutions are correlated with the geochemical, mineralogical, and environmental analysis of the region, and the information derived from this study contributes to environmental management and protection. Considering the research findings, this research model can serve as a global template for environmental studies, playing a crucial role in enhancing understanding of pollutions and advancing knowledge in this field. Therefore, the current research has a broad impact on fostering innovations and advancing knowledge in pollution management and environmental conservation.
