摘要
As a subject,urban geochemistry mainly studies the ecological,environmental and geological problems during the urbanization,and uses the theories and methods of geochemistry to study the distribution,evolution,reaction,and health effect of chemical elements and isotopes in the urban environmental system such as groundwater,surface water,soil,atmosphere,air dust and biology,so as to find out the reason for the pollution,give caution for the future,and give advice to control these factors rationally.Nowadays,the hotspots and forefront fields of the urban geochemistry in China mainly focus on multi-purpose urban geochemical survey and assessment,urban environmental pollution and eco-geochemical risk assessment,urban environment and human health,geochemical prospecting for concealed active faults in urban area,control of the urban geochemical system and urban programming.However,there are still some problems in urban geochemistry which should be studied deeply in the future.
