The retention of heavy metals in the soil is directly related to their properties such as organic matter content, pH and cation exchange capacity. With these properties, a damping index (AI) to pollution was developed, and a distribution map for Morelia, Michoacán. Soil properties had low values that influenced the obtaining of a low AI class (0.31 to 0.42) in 75.50% of the city surface. This means that the soil’s buffering capacity against heavy metals is low, increasing the damage to the human population exposed to contaminated soil particles and dust.
