Abstract: 【Objective】 To investigate the content and distribution of heavy metals in typical heavy metal contaminated areas of Xinjiang（Regiment 123 and Regiment 127 in Kuitun City and Sixty Household Township of Urumqi County） and evaluate their safety and risk by sampling and measuring the content of As and Cd in the soil. 【Method】 The heavy metal pollution and ecological risk of typical soils in typical farmland in Kuitun City and Sixty Household Township of Urumqi County were evaluated by pollution index method and potential risk index method. 【Result】 The ratio of the mean value of As and Cd to the background value was less than 1,which was lower than the background value of Xinjiang soil. The ratio of the mean value and background value of Heavy metal As in six samples from Regiment 123 and Regiment 127 in Kuitun City was 1.91,which was higher than the background value of Xinjiang soil. The ratio of the mean value of heavy metal Cd to the background value was 0.92,which was lower than the background value of Xinjiang soil. According to the environmental quality evaluation standard of producing area of edible agricultural products,through the single factor pollution index and comprehensive pollution index,it could be seen that the range of the two heavy metals in the samples of Sixty Household Township of Urumqi County and Kuitun City were Pi≤0.7 or 0.7 < Pi≤1.0,Px≤0.7,and the pollution level was clean or still clean. Based on the assessment of potential ecological risk of farmland,the sample areas of Sixty Household Township of Urumqi County and Kuitun City were at low ecological risk. 【Conclusion】 The contents of heavy metal As and Cd in the soils of Sixty Household Township of Urumqi County and Kuitun City,Xinjiang are lower than the environmental quality assessment standard of edible agricultural products producing area,and the soil was not polluted by heavy metals.
