The present paper reviews content and phytoavailability of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn) in the soils of seven selected regions in the former Tarnów province, considered to be particularly endangered by contamination by these metals. One hundred soil samples were collected, 50 from the 0-10 cm layer and 50 from the 40-50 cm layer and mixed meadow sward from the same places. Most of the examined...
Environmental monitoring of selected metals was performed using biota and soil samples. Sampling was carried out during the period March-May and October-November. For the isolation of these analytes, conventional extraction and microwave mineralization techniques were applied. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) equipped with Graphite Furnace (GF) was used to determine heavy metals and macroelements...
In the paper the studies of the level of some gamma radioactive elements and heavy metals in fruit, vegetables and plants from Lublin town agglomeration are presented. Potassium 40K isotope was the most of all in the examined samples. It concentrated mainly in overground parts of some vegetables, for example in parsley and carrots haulm and in leaves of red beet and leek (from 1135 to 1940 Bq/kg)...
This paper present the results of investigations of the level of contamination by radioactive isotopes of grass and soil of the Polish and Ukrainian Roztocze area. Heavy metal contents in soil were also measured. The highest level of radioactivity was found in the Northwestern part of Roztocze which may be explained by the close vicinity of industrial centers. The presence of caesium gave from 0.6...
Studies on element concentration in soils, plants, invertebrates and food, and body parts of synanthropic bird nestlings in polluted and unpolluted urban environments have been reviewed. Different ways of intake of elements by nestlings living in urban environments are presented. This required the determination of differences in element concentration in soils, plants, invertebrates and nestlings'...
This paper presents the results of investigations of grass contaminated by 137Cs in eastern Poland. The influence of the site, potassium ion content, soil type and caesium from soil to plant transfer coefficient (TF) were examined.
