Investigation and Evaluation on Heavy Metal Pollution of Vegetable Farm Soils in Fuxin, China

Abstract:

the paper discussed the pollution of heavy metal in vegetable farm soils in Fuxin city, China. The levels of lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic and mercury in 5 soil samples obtained from vegetable farm soil were detected. The levels of lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic and mercury were17.12-34.62mg/kg,0.12-0.24 mg/kg,32.28-50.96 mg/kg,6.86-8.83 mg/kg and 0.14-0.16 mg/kg, respectively. At same time, we have done some evaluation for vegetable farm soils pollution of Fuxin. The vegetable farm soils were contaminated by mercury in great universality, and the next is cadmium. As for contaminated degree, mercury-pollution is severe, and the second were cadmium, and the rest are slightly polluted. Compared the present pollution change, soil pollution in Fuxin is aggravate, which should grasp management, especially the serious mercury pollution that should pay attention to the monitoring mercury enterprises.
