In order to study heavy metals’ pollution characteristics in soil of a small arms shooting range, soil samples at surfaces and different depths were collected from a shooting range located in suburb of Beijing and analyzed for heavy metals (Pb、Cd、Cu、Zn、P、As、Hg and Sb). Site investigation results showed that the soil in the shooting range was seriously polluted by Pb bullets, and there are positive correlations between total concentrations of Hg, Cu, Pb, Zn, Sb and Pb in soil particles less than 2mm, indicating soil heavy metals’ combined pollution characteristics.
