Abstract: Six heavy metal ions including Pb, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg and As were determined in soil of a tea garden in Chongqing and tea samples. Combining with the health quality standards of the soil of tea garden and tea, we evaluated the pollution situation using the single factor pollution index and Nemerow pollution index. The results showed that the amounts of Pb, Cr, Cu, Hg and As were low, but the amount of Cd was a little high. The single factor pollution indexes and Nemerow pollution indexes were all below 1.0. It indicted that the soil in tea garden and teas are basically not polluted by the six heavy metals, the qualities of tea and soil environment of the tea garden are quite good on the whole. The capability of enrichment of Cd, Cu and Hg in tea was strong.
