Abstract:

In this study, the concentration, spatial distribution, occurrence and sources were analyzed in the top 20 cm soil and two 300 cm soil profiles in and around recycled lead industrial park in Anhui. The results suggest that the average content of Cd, Hg, As, Pb, Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn were 300.4 ng/g, 39.45 ng/g, 12.22 mg/kg, 42.5 mg/kg, 75.4 mg/kg, 28.5 mg/kg, 33.5 mg/kg and 74.1 mg/kg respectively. The most polluted heavy metals were Cd, Pb and Hg. Apart from Hg, Cd and Pb in the top soil mainly came from industrial activity. The Cd polluted soil covered an area of 21 km2 with 65 cm depth. Pb polluted soil covered an area of 12 km2 with 20 cm depth. Mercury in soil was moderately enriched in the top section of 65 cm. As to the occurrence, Cd were mainly bounded to carbonate, and secondly with iron-manganese oxides. Pb was mainly bound to residual and iron-manganese oxides. The content of Cd in carbonate and iron-manganese oxides and Pb in residual and iron-manganese oxides are positively correlated to their total concentration respectively. The soil quality of the study area is relatively good, as only a few samples (Cd: 9.5%; Pb: 5.4%) with the metal concentration are beyond the GB 15618—2018 standards of soil environmental quality and soil pollution risk control standard for agricultural land.
