| Abstract: |
| The objective of this study was to investigate the spatial distribution, fractionation and contamination degree of heavy metals in soils of gold mine and tailings of Pinggu in Beijing. The spatial distributions of As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn were basically the same. Their pollution was more serious in the gold mining and surrounding area, which was obviously affected by human activities. However, the spatial distribution of Cr and Ni showed that the most polluted area was the tailings. Exchange and reducible fractions of Cd accounted for about 20%~30% of the total Cd, respectively. Zinc and Pb were dominated by reducible fraction, which is potential pollution source. Pb, As, Hg, Zn, and Cd came mainly from mine mining, metal smelting and other human activities. The geo-accumulation index showed that the studied areas were seriously polluted by Pb, As and Cd, but slightly by Ni and Cr. The soils had not been contaminated by Hg. Some sample points showed mild and moderate Cu pollution. |
