Heavy metals known to be accumulated in plants adversely affect human health. This study aims to assess the effects of agrochemicals especially chemical fertilizers applied in paddy fields, which release potential toxic heavy metals into soil. Those heavy metals get accumulated in different parts of paddy plant (Oryza sativaL.) including the grains. Concentrations of nonessential toxic heavy metals (Cd, Cr, and Pb) and the micronutrients (Cu, Mn, and Zn) were measured in the paddy field soil and plant parts. Mn and Cd are found to be accumulated more in shoot than in root. The metal transfer factors from soil to rice plant were significant for Pb, Cd, Cu, Cr, Mn, and Zn. The ranking order of bioaccumulation factor (BAF) for heavy metals was Zn > Mn > Cd > Cu > Cr > Pb indicating that the accumulation of micronutrients was more than that of nonessential toxic heavy metals. The concentrations of heavy metals were found to be higher in paddy field soils than that of the nearby control soil but below permissible limits. The higher Health Index (HI) values of rice consuming adults (1.561) and children (1.360) suggest their adverse health effects in the near future.

Taking paddy field sewage irrigated area in Guixi as an examples, pollution lost rate method was applied to pollution assessment of soil heavy metals. The results showed that the average single pollution lost rate of the soil heavy metals was in the order of Cu>Cd>Pb>Zn>As, and the average single pollution lost rates of Cu and Cd are higher than that of other metals, so the integrated pollution lost rate of the metals in any sample site is contributed by them. From the comprehensive pollution lost rate, most sample sites reached the intermediate level ( IV level) , and accounted for 76. 93% of the total sample sites. most of the samples are moderately polluted (IV level), accounting for 50% of the total number of sample sites, The sample sites of No5 and No6 are slightly polluted (III level), accounting for 33%, and only No1 are heavily polluted (Vlevel), accounting for 16.67% of the total sample sites. As a result, the pollution lost rate method manifested more resolving power in the serious pollution index of the soil.

A typical paddy field downstream of uranium tailing reservoir was selected to study the distribution of heavy metal and the correlativity of uranium. The results showed that the content of heavy metals in soil has a gradual decreasing trend with increasing distance from the tailings. The contents of Cu、Cd are directly proportional to the vertical depth, the content of Cr is inversely proportional to the vertical depth. Meanwhile, the content of uranium is evidently correlated with Cu and Cr and no correlativity with Cd.

The structure of the air-water interface forms a boundary layer that involves biological ,chemical geological and physical processes in its formation. Freshwater and sea surface microlayers form at the air-water interface and include a diverse assemblage of organic matter, detritus, microorganisms, plankton and heavy metals. The sampling of microlayers and the examination of components is presently a significant area of study because of the input of anthropogenic materials and their accumulation at the air-water interface. The neustonic organisms present in this environment may be sensitive to the toxic components of these inputs. Hardy reports that over 20 different methods have been developed for sampling of microlayers, primarily for bulk chemical analysis. We report here the examination of microlayer films for the documentation of structure and composition.Baier and Gucinski reported the use of Langmuir-Blogett films obtained on germanium prisms for infrared spectroscopic analysis (IR-ATR) of components. The sampling of microlayers has been done by collecting fi1ms on glass plates and teflon drums, We found that microlayers could be collected on 11 mm glass cover slips by pulling a Langmuir-Blogett film from a surface microlayer. Comparative collections were made on methylcel1ulose filter pads. The films could be air-dried or preserved in Lugol's Iodine Several slicks or surface films were sampled in September, 1987 in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland and in August, 1988 in Sequim Bay, Washington, For glass coverslips the films were air-dried, mounted on SEM pegs, ringed with colloidal silver, and sputter coated with Au-Pd, The Langmuir-Blogett film technique maintained the structure of the microlayer intact for examination, SEM observation and EDS analysis were then used to determine organisms and relative concentrations of heavy metals, using a Link AN 10000 EDS system with an ISI SS40 SEM unit. Typical heavy microlayer films are shown in Figure 3.
