However, comprehensive studies between petrochemical and coal chemical plants in arid Northwest China remain limited. In this study, 75 surface soil samples (0\u201320\u00a0cm) were collected from 15 large\u2010scale plants (four petrochemical and 11 coal chemical plants) across the region. Sixteen priority PAHs (\u2211PAHs) were quantified, and source apportionment was conducted using diagnostic ratios and principal component analysis\u2010multiple linear regression (PCA\u2010MLR). In addition, health risks were evaluated using toxic equivalence factors and incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) models. Results showed a stark contrast in PAHs concentrations, with coal chemical plants averaging 4652.2\u00a0ng\/g and reaching up to 188,506.0\u00a0ng\/g at a coal tar processing site, compared to 225.6\u00a0ng\/g in petrochemical plants. Four\u2010ring PAHs were predominant, accounting for 64.5% and 52.1% of total PAHs in coal chemical and petrochemical soils, respectively, indicative of high\u2010temperature combustion sources. PCA\u2010MLR analysis identified coal combustion as the dominant source at coal chemical sites (96.5%), while petrochemical sites exhibited mixed sources, including oil leakage (49.6%) and vehicular emissions (25.6%). Health risk assessment revealed that ILCR values exceeded the US EPA threshold of 10\n                    <jats:sup>\u22126<\/jats:sup>\n                    at seven sampling points in coal chemical plants, with the highest risk observed at site BXT\u20102 (1.99 \u00d7 10\n                    <jats:sup>\u22124<\/jats:sup>\n                    ), primarily driven by dermal and oral exposure to benzo[a]pyrene.
