| Abstract: |
| Thirty four soil samples were collected from farmland around Baoji Second Power Plant. The concentrations of Cu, Pb, Zn, Co, Cr, Mn, Ni and V in the soil samples were analyzed by using X-Ray fluorescence spectrometry. The contamination level and ecological risk of heavy metals in soil were assessed by Nemerow synthetical pollution index method and Hakanson potential ecological risk index method. The results show that the concentrations of Cu, Pb, Zn, Co, Cr, Mn, Ni and V in soil from farmland around Baoji second power plant were higher than the background values of corresponding elements of surface soil in Shaanxi Province. The concentrations of Cr and Mn had a similar space changing tendency and there was no significant difference in the space concentration distribution for other five heavy metals. The contamination level of Cu, Pb, Zn, Co, Cr, Mn, Ni and V and the heavy metals synthetical contamination level in soil were low. The potential ecological risk level of Cu, Pb, Zn, Co, Cr, Mn, Ni and V in soil was low, while the total potential ecological risk level of heavy metals in soil was middle. |
