The purpose of this study is to explore the degree and spatial distribution of dust heavy metal pollution in Tianshui City, the health risks, and the sources of heavy metals. The geoaccumulation index and health risk assessment are used to study pollution levels and human health risks, and Cu, Zn, and Pb pollution are found to be serious. The total exposure of children to dust and heavy metals is 8.329 × 10−3 mg·kg−1·d−1, which is 4.66 times that of adults. The effect of carcinogenic heavy metal exposure is more significant for adults than for children. The total non-carcinogenic risk quotient to children via multiple pathways is 2.1690, which is higher than that of adults. Children’s Pb non-carcinogenic risk quotient is 4.79 times that of adults, and children are more sensitive than adults to the health risks of Pb pollution. The GeoDetector and Unmix 6.0 models are used for source analysis, revealing that Zn, Pb, and As pollution originate primarily from urban transportation systems, V is sourced from soil-forming parent materials, and Mn, Ni, Cu, and Co arise from mixed sources. Therefore, the treatment of heavy metal pollution in cities needs to focus more on the urban transportation system.
