An Evaluation on Heavy Metal Contamination of Soils in Suzhou by Fuzzy Mathematics Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, concentrations of six heavy metals (Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, As, Pb, Fe) in soils from different function zones of Suzhou city were determined and analysed by X-Ray fluorescence spectrometer and fuzzy mathematics model. The results show that concentrations of all except Zn were within the national second class standard, but that of all heavy metal were higher in soil background values in Anhui province; concentrations of heavy metal were different in different function areas, and heavy metal pollution was more serious in commercial area, industrial area and near the station than in residential suburb, cultural and education districts; the contaminate level of every sampling site by fuzzy mathematics model was: 7>19>6>9>14>1>17>20>4>11> 23>8>22>3>10>12>5> 16>15>2>13>18>21.
