Risk Assessment of the Farmland and Water Contamination with the Livestock Manure in Anhui Province
安徽省畜禽粪便污染耕地、水体现状及其风险评价

Basing on the data of livestock in 2001-2009 in Anhui province, the farmland pollution loading and water equal standard pollution loading of livestock manure were calculated utilizing the discharge rate of livestock manure. In addition, the risk assessment was evaluated on the livestock pollution in farmland and water bodies in this province. The industrial production of animal manure of this industry in 2008-2009 in Anhui amounted to 0.67 billion tons, and the averaged farmland loading of livestock manure, N, and P were 16.2 t x hm(-2), 83.8 kg x hm(-2), and 34.5 kg x hm(-2), respectively. The overall averaged risk constant of livestock manure loading in farmland was 0.36 (approximately risk level I). As to the water bodies, the averaged equal standard pollution loading was 7.03. However, significant differences were observed for the farmland and water contamination with livestock manure in different areas of Anhui, suggesting that some areas might receive much higher doses than the averaged amounts. The contamination weakened comparing with that in 2001-2002. But there was a trend of increase for P pollution. According to the information in 2008-2009, the farmland and water bodies in the areas of Hefei, Suzhou, and Bengbu still borne the livestock manure contamination. Results of this work provide some useful information for the water and farmland environmental protection in Huaihe river basin in Anhui province.
