[ Method ] Fresh vegetable samples were collected in 14 areas of Hunan Province and Xikuangshan Street. The content of antimony was detected by Hydride Generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry. The spatial and temporal distribution of total antimony in fresh vegetables in different areas and seasons were compared. [Result] In 703 vegetable samples, the reference range （P5-195） of total antimony content was ND -0.25mg/kg, and the median was 0. 018 mg/kg; and the median of total antimony content in Xiangtan City and Xikuangshan Street were 0.046 and 0.041 mg/kg respectively, significantly higher than those in other areas. The differences among groups were statistically significant （ P 〈 0. 05 ）. The reference range of total antimony content in spring samples was ND -0.24 mg/kg, and the median was 0. 023mg/kg; the reference range of total antimony in autumn samples was ND -0. 088mg/kg, and the median was 0.007 4 mg/kg. [ CondusionJ The reference range of total antimony content in Hunan Province is ND -0.25mg/kg, and the median is 0.018 mg/kg. The con- tent of total antimony content in Xiangtan City and Xikiangshan Street is higher. And the total antimony content in spring samples are higher than those in autumn samples.展开更多

Fertile agricultural land is being converted to other uses. Around 1/3 more of the existing area under forests is needed to meet the targets of national forest policy. In the last two decades, 9% pastures have disappeared. The hills being removed cause threat to environment. The farmers seem to overuse land and other inputs. In the peri-urban areas agricultural fertile lands are many times forcefully acquired for non-agricultural uses, which result in violent protests and judicial interventions. A few cases of vast land use change, motive forces for such change, effect of change in land use on livelihood and on quality and costs of fresh vegetable supply are discussed in this paper. The partially used and unused data collected for earlier studies and some data collected for this paper have been used. The increase in land prices due to enhanced income of some sections, future need of prime land and returns from other than agricultural uses seem to be the driving force for change in land use, affecting the livelihood of people dependent upon farming who are migrating to nearby areas. Each shift of peri-urban agriculture will result in loss of quality, increase wastage by 6% and enhance costs of leafy vegetables by more than 5.5%. For an ideal urban land use, a balanced multi land use policy emphasizing peri-urban agriculture and forestry is suggested.展开更多
