Abstract

In order to explore the relationship and the current situation between the geological background of tea garden and the content of heavy metal elements in tea, the rocks, soil and tea in Mengku tea garden and Jingmai tea garden in Yunnan Province were selected as the research objects. The contents of 10 heavy metal elements (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Zn, Mn, As) were determined. Multivariate statistical analysis and spatial analysis were used to summarize the characteristics and risk assessment of heavy metals in tea gardens. The results show that: (1) compared with the abundance of elements in the crust, the rocks in Mengku and Jingmai tea gardens were rich in As. While the rocks of Mengku tea garden were poor in Hg and the rocks of Jingmai tea garden were poor in Mn. (2) The soil of Mengku tea garden was mainly polluted by As and Cr. The soil of Jingmai tea garden was mainly polluted by Cr and Cu. They were all lightly polluted and had good soil quality. (3) The average contents of heavy metal elements in tea followed the order of Mn>Zn>Cu>Ni>Cr. The accumulation ability followed the order of Mn>Zn>Hg>Cu>Ni. Only a few tea samples from Mengku tea garden had As content exceeding the standard. And the heavy metal contents in tea were generally at the safe level. (4) For tea samples from Mengku and Jingmai tea gardens, Mn had the highest non-carcinogenic risk. As in Mengku tea had the highest carcinogenic risk. Cr in Jingmai tea had the highest carcinogenic risk. And other heavy metal elements were within the safe range.

Key words
