| Abstract: |
| On the basis of investigating current situation of heavy metals pollution in soil in Jinghuiqu imrigation dis-
trict of Shaanxi province, Hg, Cd, Cr, Pb, As, Cu and Zn are used as evaluation indicators, and soil quality of the imi-
gation district is evaluated by potential ecological risk indexes of heavy metals . The conclusions have been reached that the degree of ecological hazard of heavy metals in the soil of Jingyang, a part of the irrigation district, is at light level. Besides a few sampling sites with a moderate level , the other parts of the irrigation district have a light level of ecological hazard of heavy metals. Among the heavy metals, only E, of Cd and Hg is more than 40 and the degree of ecological haz-ard is at a moderate level, while that of the rest is at a light level . The order of pollution degree of seven heavy metals is Hg>Cd>As>Pb>Cu>Zn>Cr. The average potential ecological risk index of seven heavy metals is 133, which shows that the degree of ecological hazard is in a light level in the whole irrigation district . Comparing different compre-hensive evaluation methods of soil quality，Nemerow integrated polluted index and the potential ecological risk index has a high consistency, and the correlation reaches a highly sigificant level (R2=0.9313,P<0.01). |
