Abstract: The study on the soil and Paeonia ostii Cu,Cd,Pb and Zn at the copper-tailings reservoir of Tongling City,Anhui Province showed that the forms and contents of test heavy metals were differed in Paeonia ostii-planted and control soils.The Cu and Cd contents in control soil were 4.36~14.43 and 3.67~3.86 times of the 2nd national standard for soil environmental quality,respectively,and the composite pollution index of the heavy metals in Paeonia ostii-planted soil was up to 5.607.The heavy metals content in Paeonia ostii leaf and root-stem was in order of Cu>Zn>Pb>Cd,and that in Paeonia ostii stem and root- peel was Zn>Cu>Pb>Cd.The comparison of the heavy metals contents in Paeonia ostii with the criterion about herbal medicine showed that the Cu content in Paeonia ostii was1. 43~2.53 times of the criterion,and the Cd content was1. 17~3.17 times of the criterion.
