Mercury and other Heavy Metal Pollution in Soil-Vegetation System around Compact Fluorescent Lamp Production Town in China

Abstract:

There is an increasing concern about heavy metal contamination in farmland in China and worldwide.In order to reveal the spatial features of heavy metals in the soil-vegetable system in the CFL manufacturing area, a total of 18 pairs of soil and vegetable samples were collected from Gaohong, Southeastern China. Most of the heavy metals in soil were much higher than its corresponding background value in Zhejiang province,Most of the heavy metals in the vegetable exceeded the Safe Agricultural Product Standard in China.Compared to other heavy metals, Hg had the highest enrichment index. The CFL manufacturing companies were the main source of heavy metal Hg pollution in this area. There are strong correlation between THg in soil and vegetable.
