The heavy metals or metalloid pollution in antimony mining areas in Central-south China was studied by determining the accumulation features, concentrations of Sb, As, Cd, Zn, Pb in soil and plant samples. The results showed that soils were polluted by Sb, As, Cd, Zn and Pb, the concentration of Sb was 3.08–219 mg/kg, with the average of 54.0 mg/kg, there was no significant correlation between Sb and As, Cd, Zn, Pb, but significant correlations were found between As, Cd, Zn and Pb. Plant samples were also severely polluted by Sb, As, Cd, Pb, Debregeasia orientalis is capable of accumulating Sb and can be used to remediate Sb contaminated soils. In conclusion, soil and plants in this region were polluted, prevention and control of pollution need be concerned.
