| 1 | Speciation, sources, and risk assessment of heavy metals in suburban vegetable garden soil in Xianyang City, Northwest China显示文摘Intensive anthropogenic activities can lead tosoil heavy metal contamination resulting in potential risksto the environment and to human health. To reveal theconcentrations, speciation, sources, pollution level, andecological risk of heavy metals in vegetable garden soil, atotal of 136 soil samples were collected from threevegetable production fields in the suburbs of XianyangCity, Northwest China. These samples were analyzed byinductively coupled plasma- atomic emission spectrometryand atomic fluorescence spectrometry. The results showedthat the mean concentrations of Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Pb, Zn,and Hg in vegetable garden soil were higher than thecorresponding soil element background values of ShaanxiProvince. The heavy metals studied in vegetable gardensoil were primarily found in the residual fraction,averaging from 31.26% (Pb)to 90.23% (Cr). Consideringthe non-residual fractions, the mobility or potential riskwas in the order of Pb (68.74%)〉 Co (60.54%)〉 Mn(59.28%)〉Cd (53.54%)〉〉Ni (23.36%)〉Zn(22.73%) 〉 Cu (14.93%) 〉 V (11.81%) 〉 Cr (9.78%). Cr,Mn, Ni, V, and As in the studied soil were related to soil-forming parent materials, while Cu, Hg, Zn, Cd, Co, andPb were associated with the application of plastic films,fertilizers, and pesticides, as well as traffic emissions andindustrial fumes. Cr, Ni, V, and As presented lowcontamination levels, whereas Co, Cu, Mn, Pb, and Znlevels were moderate, and Cd and Hg were high.Ecological risk was low for Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Pb, Zn, andAs, with high risk observed for Cd and Hg. The overallpollution level and ecological risk of these heavy metalswere high. | Lijun WANG Wendong TAO Richard C. SMARDON Xue XU Xinwei LU | 2018 | Frontiers of Earth Science2018，12，2： | 5 |
