?Zone of China. Based on multi-purpose
regional geochemical survey, regional eco-geochemical assessment, local
eco-geochemical assessment and comprehensive appraisal, the eco-geochemical
survey and assessment in Pearl River Delta Economic Zone of 41,698 km2?were completed. Samples from soils
were collected in accordance with the two-layer grid method. Totally 54
elements and indicators for soils were determined. Compared to deep soils, the
sampled surface soils are enriched in OrgC, N, P, Cd, S,Hg, Ag, B, Au, S and poor with As, Ni,
I, Co, Cr, V, MgO, Sc, Al2O3, Fe2O3?etc. The characteristics of
geochemical reference value of element in soil that inherited soil parent
material and regional elements combined features reflected that the elements
enriched in the soil was interrelated with acid rock, sandstone and shale. The
spatial distribution characteristics of element regional geochemistry were
conditional by regional environmental geological conditions,and effected by human activities. The
Pearl River Delta plain is a typical geochemical landscape area with regional
anomaly of multiple-elements. The north, western and eastern parts of the Pearl
River
