چکیده
In recent years, landfill and incineration of waste is considered a new mercury pollution, which is paid widespread attention by domestic and foreign scientists. This paper studies mercury pollution Characteristics in the soil around Landfill taking landfill in Huainan City for an example and using AMA 254 Advanced Mercury Analyzer produced by US LECO Company. The result shows that: mercury content distribution in surface soil around landfill has the certain laws: S50(0.0411ppm)> S20(0.0345)>S100(0.0257), and the distribution of surface soil in different directions is as follows: WSII (0.0525ppm) >W(0.0441ppm)>WSI(0.0255ppm)>ES(0.0218ppm); The vertical distribution is as follows: mercury content in the southeast increased with increasing depth and the rest direction decreases with depth increasing.

Influence of a Municipal Waste Landfill on the Spatial Distribution of Mercury in the Environment
The study investigations were focused on assessing the influence of a 35-year-old municipal waste landfill on environmental mercury pollution. The total Hg content was determined in the soil profile, groundwater, and the plants (Solidago virgaurea and Poaceae sp.) in the landfill area. Environmental pollution near the landfill was relatively low. The topsoil layer, groundwater and the leaves of...
