Heavy Metal Distribution and Sources in Pineapple-Growing Agricultural Soil in Hainan Province, China

Abstract:

An investigation on heavy metal content in agricultural soil growing pineapples was carried out in Hainan Province. The horizontal and vertical distribution of heavy metal in different areas was studied. The sources of heavy metal were conducted using principal component analysis. Generally the study areas were less affected by human activity factors and the overall environmental quality was quite better. The uneven horizontal distribution of heavy metal was controlled mainly by the soil parent material and the vertical distribution of heavy metal was limited by both the role of human activities and the natural effect combined.
