Abstract

Soil pollution is serious now worldwide especially in China, with the continuous expansion of industrialization, the problem of soil heavy metal pollution is becoming more and more serious which is toxic to human beings. We studied the content and distribution of Cu, Zn, Pb, Cr, and Cd in soil of Jiujiang city. The results showed that the content of Cr and Zn were higher than others and the content of Cd was the lowest. Meanwhile, the content of the same heavy metal element has no significant difference between samples in different depth of the sampling point as our studied.
