Copper Pollution and its Assessment of Roadside Soils in Suzhou City

Article Preview

Abstract:

Heavy metal concentration in the roadside soil collected from the four directions was determined by X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscope. The results indicated that the average copper concentration is higher than the soil background value of Anhui province and Cu was highly enriched and accumulated; the order of copper concentration from high to low is: Commercial areas > Areas around station > Industrial areas > Residential areas >Urban green space; the pollution assessment results of Geo-accumulation index showed that some samples((19, 23 ,26 and 29) is less moderate pollution or moderate pollution, , and the others are light pollution or unpolluted.
