Heavy Metals In Soils

Concentrations of heavy metals in Southern Kuzbass urban soils affected by coal mining industry and sity boilers were studied. The risks of toxic effects of elements found in soils as a result of geochemical sampling (200 samples) were identified. The hazard ratio during the intake of elements - toxins into the human body orally and via inhalation was calculated. Analysis of uncertainty in the estimation of the average daily doses was carried out. The obtained risk parameters fall into the category of permissible or acceptable. The primary contribution to the total hazard ratio is made by the manganese, cobalt, copper, and arsenic. These elements show special features of the soil in the affected area of coal mining, urban boilers everywhere and the activity of repair — metallurgical and foundry businesses locally. No pronounced differentiation of the city areas according to the value of the hazard ratio was discovered.

The statistically significant geochemical dependences of the dynamic behavior of petroleum products in urban soils in the fuel filling station zone are considered, the areal of their distribution are determined. The techniques used make it possible not only to identify laterally manmade modules of environmental hazard (laterally module) when oil products come from fuel filling stations, but also to determine additional factors of unaccounted environmental risk, for example, the process of accumulation of heavy metals in the soil profile in excess of the standards on the resulting geochemical barrier in the form of oil products. The risk assessment of oil product supply facilities should be carried out taking into account the specifics of the distribution of toxicants in technogenically altered soils.

Heavy Metals In Soils

The paper studies heavy metals in soils of the train removal station Ussuriysk JSC Russian Railways. An adverse effect of railway transport on adjacent territories is shown. Railway transport and subjects of its support are permanent sources of pollution. Long-term emissions to the air are reflected by essential accumulation of tocsins in the top horizons of the soil. The authors reveal the amount of heavy metals in soils of the train removal station Ussuriysk JSC Russian Railways. To identify the coefficient of heavy metals concentration in soil samples of 8 trial areas of technogenic and anthropogenic zones of the city were analyzed. To identify local technogenic anomalies concentration coefficients were calculated. The authors concluded that the territory of the train removal station Ussuriysk JSC Russian Railways was very polluted. The south of the railway station is characterized by an average pollution level. The authors revealed high concentrations of Zn, Mn, Fe, Cu and Pb in soils of the trial sites with a high transport loading.

Pb Concentration

The current study included the investigation of several metals and their distribution in urban soils from parks and green areas in the city of Belgrade. The soils were sampled in January and February 2008. The concentrations of Cd, Co, Cu, Pb, Mn and Zn were measured, as well as the pH values and organic matter contents. The obtained results showed that there was a significant level of contamination in some samples, especially with lead, and that it was most probably caused by anthropogenic activities, mostly from traffic. The results were compared with the National legislation and Netherlands standards. Also, the recent results were compared with the data from previous work and it was concluded that there has been a certain increase of the Pb concentration in the past three years. The level of pollution in playground soil was very high and each analyzed sample exceeded the Dutch target value for Cd, Co and Pb.
