Abstract: Pollution of the soil in a typical solid waste dismantling area in the coastal region of east Zhejiang was investigated and analyzed,and degrees of soil heavy metal pollution were assessed.Results show that against the background values of the soil environment,the studied soil was seriously polluted,and over 50% of the soil was above moderately polluted with Cd and Cu.On such a basis,exploration of how to demarcate heavy metal contaminated soil was conducted and a whole set of polluted soil expression methods for land-quality-specific management of the soils was put forward.

Key words: heavy metal, contaminated soil, the coast of east Zhejiang, delineation method, solid waste area
