[Geogenic distribution and baseline concentrations of cadmium in surficial soil of Guiyang, China].

The characteristics of environmental geochemistry of heavy metal pollutant cadmium (Cd) in the surficial soil of Guiyang, Guizhou, China was studied. The baseline concentration of Cd in soil and the geochemistry norms have been established to distinguish the nature or artificial influence on the environment. The statistical analysis indicated that the baseline of Cd in Guiyang was 0.
