Abstract:The observations of a study of soil heavy metal pollution situation and its spatial distribution regulation with sample as Changxing County of Huzhou City of Zhejiang Province on the GIS platform showed that: the averaged Hg and Cd as well as Zn contents in vegetable-cultivated soil were obviously higher than the local background values,and the average contents of As,Cr,Pb and Cu were near or lower than the local background values.Also,the heavy metal contents in the vegetable-cultivated soil of Changxing County mostly were lower than the accepted standard values for national non-hazard vegetable production bases.As an exception,Hg and Cd contents in 10.4% and 4.5 % of sampling sites were higher than the standard values,and Hg and Cd contents in 43% and 58.0 % of sampling sites were higher than the local background values.The maximum values of Hg and Cd in soils were as high as 945.85 ng/g and 478.88 ng/g,respectively.We found that the spatial distribution features of soil Hg and Cd in the vegetable-cultivated region were agreed with the distribution of industry regions.This implied that industry pollution will be the main factor of higher contents of heavy metals in the vegetable-cultivated soils.Besides,we have found a accumulation tendency in soil Cr,Zn and Cu contents in some parts of Changxing County.
