Abstract

Soils collected from pusan metropolitan city were analysed for Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Mn to determine their dispersion patterns, mode of occurrences and to investigate the pollution level of heavy metals by urbanization. Element couples of Zn-Cu and Pb-Cd showed good correlation respectively and pollution sources of Zn-Cu, and Pb-Cd were similar. Pb was highly enhanced in dense traffic areas. Soil chemistry around mineralized areas originating from basic host rocks are characterized by high content of Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd, Mn and As.
