Case study is performed on the arable land soil in the southeast of Huzhou in this paper, the spatial distribution characteristics of soil heavy metals are studied using the Geostatistical method, in which soil pollution conditions are evaluated using single pollution index, Nemerow complex pollution index, index of geoaccumulation and potential ecological risk index. The results show that the average content of Cd in this area is higher than that of national soil environmental standard(Ⅱ), and the contents of heavy metals(Cr、Ni、Cu、Zn、Cd、Pb、Hg)are higher than the background values. It is also found that the soil pollution degree of the research area is not high, Hg pollution degree appears to increase from the west area to the east area, and Cd pollution is concentrated in the southeast of Nanxun and the middle of Lianshi. The geoaccumulation indices of Hg and Cd are 0. 50 and 0. 11, respectively, which belonged to light-moderate pollution. The single pollution index of each heavy metal in soil is as follow: Cd(1. 47)>Hg(0. 69)>Ni(0. 66)>Zn(0. 41)>Cu(0. 31)>Cr(0. 27)>As(0. 25)>Pb(0. 11). The Nemerow complex pollution index suggests that the pollution condition of the arable soil is insignificant, only the soil in the middle of Nanxun, the south of Shanlian, and the junction area between Jiuguan and Shuanglin is lightly polluted. The potential pollution risk of Cd appears to be moderate and the comprehensive ecological pollution risk shows to be in a light level. The soil pollutions are supposed to be mainly from agricultural activities and industrial wastes.
