Abstract:Based on the soil geochemical data obtained from ecological geochemical survey of a town in Tancheng county, by using factor analysis, the study area has been divided into three soil geochemical zones and 10 soil geochemical sub-zones . There is a correlation between elements in each soil geochemical sub-region, and the content of heavy metals often determines the ecological risk conditions of the soil geochemical sub-region or sub-region. For the first time, eight heavy metals in cultivated soil of a town in Tancheng county have been evaluated by using soil geochemical zoning as evaluation unit. As showed by the results, the contents of heavy metals in cultivated soils in this area are weak to low, and the degree of homogenization is high, and the environmental quality is generally clean. However, the contents of Hg, Ni and Cr in individual soil zones are highly differentiated, and the point position is higher than the background proportion. The values of Ni and Cr in single pollution index are relatively high. It is indicated that there is a single factor of human pollution. As indicated by Nemerow pollution index, I-3 sub-region is the highest in the town, and there are some potential pollution hazards. As indicated by Ground Accumulation Index, the values of Hg in Ni and II-1 sub-regions in I-3 sub-region are more than 1, which is a slight pollution level. The assessment also shows that the assessment results of heavy metal pollution in cultivated soil based on soil geochemical zoning are in good agreement with the information reflected by soil environmental quality assessment maps.
