“…Some authors have described phosphatic fertilisers as a potential source of soil contamination with cadmium (Hutton, 1983;Kabata-Pendias and Pendias, 1984;Keller and Brunner, 1983;Kloke et al, 1984;Markard, 1983). The risk is connected with both the production of fertilisers and with their use.…”

Cadmium was measured in soils limed with industrial solid wastes, in cultivated lands located near waste yards and in soils of allotment gardens exposed to contamination. The median level and range of cadmium in soils of varying exposure to contamination was respectively: 0.3 mg kg(-1) and 0.01-107 mg kg(-1), 0.2 mg kg(-1) and 0.02-2,198 mg kg(-1), 0.4 mg kg(-1) and 0.05-161 mg kg (-)1. Cadmium levels exceeded the value of 3 mg kg(-1) considered permissible for arable soils in the samples of soils limed with wastes from the chemical industry (2.4%), the mining industry and metallurgy sites (2.1 %), in 12.4% samples of soils located in the neighbourhood of industrial waste storage yards and in 17.2% samples of soils from allotment gardens located on lands formerly used for waste storage.

“…Substantially lower coefficients for Cd, Ni, and Zn (r 2 = 0.14-0.35) were determined by Eriksson et al (1990) for oat grain using HNO3 extracted metals in addition to soil pH. Kabata-Pendias and Dudka (1989) also found higher coefficients for DTPA extracted concentrations than for total concentrations. No statistically significant models were found for the metal concentrations in orchard grass.…”

Background values for heavy metals are necessary for the assessment of metal pollution of soils and plants. Samples of cultivated and uncultivated soils, oat grain, and seed heads of orchard grass (Ddctytis glomerdta) were collected from central, southeastern, and southwestern Norway.Total and easily extractable concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn were determined in soil samples and total concentrations in plant samples. Element distributions have been correlated with petrology of soil parent material, type of mineral deposit, soil depth, geographic area, and land use. Concentrations of heavy metals are generally within the lower part of the normal global range. The petrology of the soil parent material has the greatest influence on aqua regia extracted metal concentrations among the factors studied. DTPA extracted metals show less dependence on rock types. Presence of alum shale results in particularly high values for Cd in both soil extracts and in oat grain. Soil cultivation seems to influence the relative concentration of metals in the topsoil. The ratios of easily extractable to total concentrations of metals are primarily related tO the organic matter content. Metal concentrations in oat grain can best be predicted by concentrations in DTPA extracts and soil pH among the factors studied. Seed heads of orchard grass are less affected by concentrations in the soil and appear therefore to be a poor indicator of heavy metals in soils.

“…The corresponding figures for Fe and Mn have been estimated to be 32,500 tonnes/yr and 290 tonnestyr respectively [117]. Overviews of the influence of mining activity on the occurrence of heavy metals in Polish soils and on the form of metals in Vistula River sediments have been presented by Kabata-Pendias and Dudka [64], Helios Rybicka [51][52][53], Kabata-Pendias et al [65] and Helios Rybicka et al [54]. This work showed that >99% of Cd and Pb and >90% of Zn in sediments along a 200 km stretch of the Upper Vistula River are of anthropogenic origin and that element concentrations in the sediments decrease by a factor of 20 for Cd, 10 for Zn, and 5 for Pb and Cu along the length of the Vistula [84].…”
