Abstract:To investigate the current state of heavy metal pollution in farmland soils in Longyou Pyrite Mine, Zhejiang Province, 265 farmland soils samples were collected, Cu, As, Hg, Zn, Cd, Ni, Pb and Cr contents in soils were measured and the spatial variation of the heavy metals were studied by using GS+9.0 and Kriging interpolation. 30 rice grain samples were collected, the accumulation characters and health risk of heavy metals were studied and assessment. The results showed that variation coefficient of eight heavy metals ranged from 0.72 to 1.76, indicating uneven distribution of heavy metals in the study area. The half variant function of Cu, As and Hg fit exponential model, those of Zn, Cd and Ni fit spherical model, that of Cr fit Gaussian model. The C0/C0+C of Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr and Ni were less than 0.25, indicating their spatial variation were influenced by geological factors, while those of Cd, Hg and As were from 0.25 to 0.75, indicating their spatial variation were influenced by geological and human activity factors. The variation coefficients of Ni and Cd in rice grains were 0.95 and 0.87, respectively, which possibly indicating abnormal accumulation of Ni and Cd. The enrichment capacity was in an order of Cd>Zn>Cu>Ni>As>Hg>Cr>Pb. Health risk assessment showed that HQs of As and Cd were higher than 1, suggesting potential risk, while the other six heavy metals were generally safe.
