Researches with salinization in irrigated areas, for the presence of heavy metals are still incipient. These metals have been consistently found in areas irrigated groups and are associated with environmental impact, being pollutants because of their toxicity and persistence in the environment. The study aimed to determine the concentration of heavy metals and to establish correlations between them in salt affected soils less than four (4) in irrigated Ceará (Baixo-Acaraú; Morada Nova; Curu-Pentecost and Ico-Lima Campos). Samples were collected at depth of 0-10 and 10-20 cm in 10 points within each perimeter, being (1) point within each perimeter, referring to soils preserved vegetation, totaling (80) samples. Were obtained the total contents of metals, as well as multivariate analyzes were performed (canonical correlation analysis and factorial) between attributes related to salinization (pH, CE, CTC and PST) and variable consisting of the heavy metals (Al, B, Mn , Mo, Si, Zr, Cr, Fe, V, Ni, Pb, Ti, Zn, As, Cd, Co and Cu) in the 0-20 cm. It was concluded that: a) The levels of heavy metals and elements in soils of the four perimeters followed the following order: Fe, Al, Si, Ti, Mn, Zn, Cr, V, Ni, Cu, Co, B, Pb , Se, Cd, Mo, Zr, and this order, in general, independent of the surface and subsurface layers considered. b) The reference values for heavy metals and quality data obtained in this study, in general, were low compared to the values stipulated by environmental agencies at Brasil (CONAMA and CETESB). In fact, for all the soil samples, the levels of As and Hg were below the limit of detection apparatus (0.01). c) Soil attributes related to salinity CTC, pH, EC and PST contributed to explain the levels of heavy metals in soils of the four irrigation schemes, when analyzed together, however, were not able to explain when analyzed individually. Following the order of importance: CTCT > pH > PST > EC. d) Correlations were observed between metallic elements analyzed in this study (B, Mo, Si, Zr, Cr, Ni, Pb, Ti, Zn, Cd, Co, Se and Cu) with Fe, Mn, Al, Ti and V, or even, geochemical affinities between the elements in the four soils irrigated Ceará.
