The multi-sourced heavy metals stored within stream sediments create substantial obstacles to accurate source apportionment and targeted risk mitigation. In this work, stream sediment samples were collected across the study watershed to test concentrations of eight heavy metals: As, Cd, Cr, Ni, Cu, Pb, Hg and Zn. Pollution and ecological risk assessments were implemented via the pollution load index (PLI), geo-accumulation index (Igeo) and potential ecological risk index (RI). Kriging interpolation was utilized to visualize and interpret the spatial variation patterns of heavy metals. Combined correlation analysis, principal component analysis (PCA) and the Absolute Principal Component Scores\u2013Multiple Linear Regression (APCS-MLR) receptor model were adopted to qualitatively and quantitatively distinguish pollution endmembers of heavy metals. The main results are as follows: Cr, Cd, Pb and As show significant enrichment, whereas Ni, Cu, Zn and Hg appear depleted; all measured heavy metals present strong spatial variability. Weathering of basic bedrocks governs the widespread high-value zones of Cr, Ni, Cu and Zn. Patchy enrichment of Pb, As and Cd is concentrated in river valley farmlands, with no continuous anomalous zones detected for Hg. The watershed as a whole suffers mild contamination and low potential ecological risk, with only sampling points surrounding mines and agricultural lands experiencing moderate-to-severe pollution and medium ecological hazards. Three source endmembers are identified in the region: a natural geogenic endmember (Cr, Ni, Co, etc.), a mixed mining-associated anthropogenic endmember (Zn, Hg, Cu, Cd), and an agricultural non-point endmember (Pb, As, Sb). Quantitative APCS-MLR calculations confirm that mining disturbances serve as the predominant anthropogenic input for Zn, Hg, Cu and Cd; agricultural practices dominate the accumulation of As and Pb; and geogenic contributions stay marginal for all elements. This study corroborates that regional lithology sets the natural geochemical baseline of heavy metals, while anthropogenic interferences function as the primary driver of localized pollution anomalies. The conclusions can deliver theoretical support for heavy metal pollution remediation in similar hilly watersheds throughout Northeast China.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/toxics14080696","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,6]],"date-time":"2026-08-06T11:43:02Z","timestamp":1786016582000},"page":"696","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Source Apportionment of Heavy Metals in Stream Sediments from the Hilly Western Wanda Mountains Based on PCA-APCS-MLR"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Xiangjin","family":"Yan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mudanjiang Natural Resources Comprehensive Survey Center, China Geological Survey, Changchun 130102, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lian","family":"Xue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Water Conservancy Bureau of Hulunbuir City, Hulunbuir 021000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hulunbuir Water Conservancy Development Center, Hulunbuir 021000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinyong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Langfang Natural Resources Comprehensive Survey Center, China Geological Survey, Tianjin 300301, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingtao","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Langfang Natural Resources Comprehensive Survey Center, China Geological Survey, Tianjin 300301, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chuangchuang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Langfang Natural Resources Comprehensive Survey Center, China Geological Survey, Tianjin 300301, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"134471","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2019.134471","article-title":"Risk assessment of trace elements pollution of Manaus urban rivers","volume":"709","author":"Fontes","year":"2020","journal-title":"Sci.
