Abstract:Based on the multiobjective regional geochemical survey in Rizhao city, geochemical data of the surface and deep soil have been obtained. Through statistical analysis of obtained geochemical parameters, geochemical reference value and background value of the soil in Rizhao city have been calculated. It is showed that geochemical reference value and background value of most elements or indicators in Rizhao city are similar to the geochemical reference value and background value of Shandong province. The background value of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Zn and other heavy metal elements in Rizhao city are lower than the first class of the national soil environmental quality standards, which shows that the soil of Rizhao city are still in the position of a natural background. However, in the late stage of industrial production and urbanization construction, the elements or indicators of Cd, C, Hg, N, P, S, Se, Corg and so on in the surface soil of Rizhao city are significantly enriched, which should be paid more attention.
