[In-situ Study on Effects of Combined Amendment on Translocation Control of Pb and Cd in Soil-Vegetable System].

An in-situ study aiming at remedying arid land complexly polluted with Pb and Cd by using combined amendment LS (a mixture of limestone and sepiolite with a ratio of 2 : 1) was conducted in a mining area in southern Hunan, China. The main objectives of this study were to discuss the effects of LS application at different amounts (0 , 2, 4, 8 g x kg(-1)) on the adsorption and accumulation of Pb and Cd in eggplant and amaranth, and to control the translocation and transportation of Pb and Cd among different parts of eggplant and amaranth. The results showed that: (1) Application of LS significantly increased soil pH values and decreased contents of exchangeable Pb and Cd in soil.
