Influence of highway distance on heavy metals dynamics in the soil-fruit system
At five locations of apple orchards grown on eutric cambisol at a different distance from the E 75 highway, the presence of heavy metals in soil and plant material was examined. In the soil samples it were determined pH in 1M KCl, CaCO3, total C, SOM, content of clay and content of total and availab...

| Summary: | At five locations of apple orchards grown on eutric cambisol at a different distance from the E 75 highway, the presence of heavy metals in soil and plant material was examined. In the soil samples it were determined pH in 1M KCl, CaCO3, total C, SOM, content of clay and content of total and available forms of Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn. Content of Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn was analyzed in the plant material. In the tested soil samples, the content of the total forms of the tested elements is within the limits of maximum allowable concentrations, while in the tested plant material, only the content of lead in one of the five tested apple samples is within the permitted limits. In apple samples from locations 30 m away from the highway, the lead content is well above the limit values, which requires further research to determine whether the increased concentration of this element is due to aerosol pollution or protective equipment applied. |
