Comprehensive Assessment of Heavy Metal Pollution of Urban Surface Soils in Qingdao, China

Article Preview

Abstract:

Soil samples of 0-5cm from 18 sampling sites including different functional zones of Qingdao, China were collected and analyzed. The results showed the average concentration of Cu, Pb, Zn and Ni in soil were up to 55.96,174.37,57.89, and 31.16mg/kg respectively, which were much higher than their natural background values. The average Igeo values were in the increasing order of Ni(0.638)
