Samples of soil, vegetables, crops and air collected from Yuqiao Incineration Palnt, Pudong Shanghai, were analyzed with an AMA-254 liquid/solid mercury analyzer. It is shown that background levels(BLs,2001) of mercury in surface soil is a little higher, mercury content in soils one year after operation(2002) and two year(2003) were both higher than BLs. The levels of mercury in vegetables is higher than Standard levels (GB 2762-94), the content of mercury in Soya and broomcorn sampled in 2003 was 2.3 and 2.7 times than that in 2002. Atmospheric mercury levels were 10.1,5.0 and 10.6 ng/m3 in up-site,site and down-site. |
