Abstract:China is a large nonferrous metal producer. Environmental problems caused by development of nonferrous metal industry, especially prevention and control of soil heavy metals pollution, are the key areas in prevention and control of soil pollution. At present, China has issued a series of laws and policies on prevention and control of soil heavy metals pollution, and put forward specific requirements for prevention and control of soil heavy metals pollution in nonferrous metal industry. However, on the whole, the prevention and control of soil heavy metals pollution in nonferrous metal industry is still facing a grim situation in China. To further implement relevant laws and policies, establish and improve system and mechanism, promote technological innovation in related fields, and promote industrial development through the mechanism are key issues that should be paid attention to in the development of this field during the “14th Five-year Plan” period.
