A method of leaching polluted soil with diluted HCl solution was investigated for controlling high Cd in rice. Results obtained in the pot and field experiments are summarized as follows : 1. By leaching the soil in the pot with 0.05 or 0.1N HCl solution followed by washing with water, soluble heavy metals were remarkably removed in the order of Cd>Cu>Zn>>Pb ; the Cd content decreased to half with 0.1N HCl treatment. 2. Heavy metal contents of the plants decreased with the treatments. Especially, Cd content in straw and rice of the soil applied with CaCO_3 after the treatment was one-third and one-fifteenth of the control, respectively. 3. A contaminated paddy field was similarly treated using industrial conc. HCl. One-fourth of the soluble Cd in the surface soil was removed by this method, and the Cd content of the unpolished rice decreased from 0.33ppm to 0.06ppm in the plot treated with fused magnesium phosphate and calcium silicate after the treatment. 4. Cd concentration of the drained water from the treated field could soon be diluted far below the allowable limit with the abundant river current. A sufficient supply of calcareous materials was needed to compensate for the lost bases in the soil.
