With the purpose of investigation on heavy metal contamination in soils from vegetable bases of Hangzhou, adopting field investigation and indoor analysis methods, the contents of heavy metals as Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr, As and Ni, together with their relevance to the physicochemical properties of the 203 soils from 30 vegetable bases in 10 districts of Hangzhou were studied. The results showed that the contents of heavy metals such as Zn,Cr,As,Ni generally didn't exceed the standard, while the contents of heavy metals such as Cu, Pb, Cd exceeded it. The results from synthetic pollution evaluation showed that the soils were slightly polluted in soils from vegetable bases of Hangzhou, which were mainly caused by Cd pollution.
