The contents of heavy metals Cr,Ni,Cu,Zn,Cd and Pb were analyzed in the farmland soil near a permeable river in a mining area of Panxi,and the relationship between heavy metals was discussed.The correlation analysis shows that the correlation between Cr and Ni is very significant,and the determination coefficient is 0.371<0.4,indicating that the con-tent of Cr is not only affected by Ni,but also by other metals.Pb has no significant correlation with Ni,Cr and Cr with Zn and Cd,showing a certain heterogenicity.The single factor index shows that only Pb pollution level is clean.According to the av-erage value of single factor pollution index of 6 kinds of heavy metals,the degree of heavy metal pollution of soil in the study area is Ni>Cd>Cr>Zn>Cu>Pb.The maximum value of Nemero pollution composite index was 5.87,the minimum value was 1.01,and the average value was 3.03.Among the 52 samples,59.61%belong to the moderate pollution level,30.77%belong to the severe pollution level,and 9.62%belong to the mild pollution level.On the whole,the soil environ-mental quality in the study area is seriously polluted.
