Spatial distribution of metals in urban topsoils of Xuzhou (China): controlling factors and environmental implications

The contamination of soils by metals from various sources is a subject of increasing concern in recent times. Twenty-eight elements (Fe, Ti, Cr, Al, Ga, Pb, Sc, Ba, Li, Cd, Be, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, V, Zn, Mo, Pt, Pd, Au, As, Sb, Se, Hg, Bi, Ag and Sn) have been analyzed from urban topsoil from the city of Xuzhou. The concentrations of these analyzed elements have been correlated to some soil parameters such as organic matter, pH, cation exchange capacity, carbonate content, and granulometric fractions (clay, silt and sand). Results of the statistical analysis show a large variety and complexity in these relationships. The spatial distributions of these metal concentrations were also constructed using geographical information system. The spatial distribution patterns of the elements analyzed show that traffic and industrial activities are the principal anthropogenic pollutant sources.     

华北地台钼（铜）矿床成矿年代学研究——辉钼矿铼-锇年龄及其地质意义

华北地台北缘的工产辽和南缘的东秦岭两个钼矿带闻名遐迩。本文用同位素稀释－等离子体质谱法，直接测定了燕辽钼矿带中兰家沟钼矿床的Ｒｅ－Ｏｓ等时线年龄为（１８６．５±０．７）×１０＾６ａ，杨家杖和肖家营子钼矿床的Ｒｅ－Ｏｓ模式年龄为（１８７±２）×１０＾６ｄ－（ｄ１９１±６）×ｄ１０＾６ａ和（１７７±５）×１０＾６ａ，小寺沟和寿王坟铜矿床的Ｒｅ－Ｏｓ模式为ＤＤ（１３４±３）×１０＾４ａ和（１４８±４）×
