Substances present in soils are of natural or anthropogenic origin. As a result of industrial activity, large quantities of potentially hazardous elements such as heavy metals are deposited in the environment. They may occur as unavailable (similar to the total form), or available for plants. The content of nickel in the soil from the former sanitary zone of the Głogów Copper Smelter does not exceed...
Lead, as a heavy metal, is harmful to living organisms (both plants and animals) and it is relatively mobile in the environment. In this article we present the results of the monitoring of the lead content in local allotment gardens (Zielona Góra, Poland). We examined both the total and the phytoavailable form. Soil samples were collected in eight places in the allotment gardens, and two places in...
The analysed area was used for industrial activity for over 130 years. During that time many pollutants (including heavy metals) have been emitted by industrial plants and infiltrated into the soil. This article presents the properties of the soil from industrial sites located in Zielona Góra and analysis of its physical and chemical characteristics.
