Abstract

Soil and wheat samples in wheat-planted area in Beijing were collected for assessing the concentration and health risk of heavy metals.The results show that the average concentrations of As,Cd,Cr,Cu,Ni,Pb and Zn in the soils from wheat fields are 7.4, 0.165, 37.8, 20.3, 24.2, 14.3 and 70.1 mg/kg, respectively, which are lower than the baseline concentration of soil from Beijing. It shows that planting wheat did not definitely increase the concentrations of heavy metals in soil. The average concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in wheat are 0.032, 0.031, 0.967, 7.05, 0.293, 0.17 and 33.7 mg/kg, respectively. The concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn are significantly less than the maximum levels of Food Hygiene Standards of China, and there is no significant difference between Cr concentration in wheat and the maximum Cr level of Food Hygiene Standards. Among the heavy metals, the accumulating ability of wheat for Zn is the best and that of As is the weakest.The average intake rates of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn from wheat for people lived in Beijing are 0.005, 0.004, 0.136, 0.994, 0.041, 0.024 and 4.75 mg/(person day) and there is no significant risk caused by heavy metals intake for common residents in Beijing from staple and vegetables according to the average concentrations of metals and the average consumption.Among the districts of Shunyi, Fangshan, Daxing and Tongzhou, the largest wheat planted areas in Beijing, the average intake rates of Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb in wheat from Shunyi District are higher than those from the other three districts, while the average heavy metal intake rate of wheat from Fangshan is the lowest.
