The common empirical screening method is limited to a preliminary screen target from vast elements for human health risk assessments. Here, an element screening procedure was developed for assessing the human health risk of the elements in the sediment of the Xiangjiang River. Ninety-six surface sediment samples from eight sampling stations were collected and 27 elements of each sample were investigated. Thirteen of the 27 elements were screened for human health risk assessments through the three-run selections by calculating anthropogenic factors, building element maps, and the removal of unnecessary elements. Pb posed the greatest health risk and exhibited a potential noncarcinogenic risk for adults at the stations S4 and S5, although no visible noncarcinogenic and carcinogenic risk for adults and children in the Xiangjiang River. Our study also suggested that the chalcophile elements were associated with greater health risk, compared to the lithophile and siderophile ones.
