Abstract EN
Estimating standard-exceeding probabilities of toxic metals in soil is crucial for environmental evaluation.
Because soil pH and land use types have strong effects on the bioavailability of trace metals in soil, they were taken into account by some environmental protection agencies in making composite soil environmental quality standards (SEQSs) that contain multiple metal thresholds under different pH and land use conditions.
This study proposed a method for estimating the standard-exceeding probability map of soil cadmium using a composite SEQS.
The spatial variability and uncertainty of soil pH and site-specific land use type were incorporated through simulated realizations by sequential Gaussian simulation.
A case study was conducted using a sample data set from a 150 km2 area in Wuhan City and the composite SEQS for cadmium, recently set by the State Environmental Protection Administration of China.
The method may be useful for evaluating the pollution risks of trace metals in soil with composite SEQSs.
