Heavy Metal Environmental Assessment of Surface Soil in Rizhao Tea-Planting Areas

Abstract

Analysis about contents and distributions of heavy metal elements in soil is one of the primary matters in surveying geochemical environmental quality in Rizhao tea-planting areas. By using 1km×1km sampling data of surface soil in Rizhao tea-planting areas, Geostatistics method is adopted to analyze spatial distribution of heavy metal elements, and nemerow synthetic index method is adopted to assess environmental qualities of heavy metals and show the result out by Kriging interpolation. The assessment results are as follows: the distribution of all the heavy metals besides Cd, Pb is comparatively uniformity; From the result of the single pollution index, the gross part of research areas is clean, only Cd, Ni pollution existed in finitude areas; From the spatial distribution of nemerow synthetic pollution index, 88.41% of the research areas soil belongs to level I, and 6.44% belongs to level II, and 5.14% level III, while no area belongs to level IV and level V.
