“…Moreover, high impact of PHEs contamination on soils via atmospheric deposition is mainly generated by coal combustion (Peng et al 2019) that in Poland is very common. Exceedance of regulation limits concerning PHEs content was observed in soils that are adjacent to megalopolises, large motorways and industrial enterprises (Barsova et al 2019). The total PHE content is an important indicator of soil contamination, although this measure is not sufficient to assess any adverse effects that have actually occurred in the soil ecosystem (Baran et al 2014(Baran et al , 2018Kim et al 2015;Jiang et al 2019).…”

Agricultural soil samples were collected from the areas where edible plants had been cultivated in southern Poland. The PHE content decreased in proportion to the median value specified in brackets (mg/kg d.m.) as follows: Zn (192) [ Pb (47.1) [ Cr (19.6) [ Cu (18.8) [ Ni (9.91) [ As (5.73) [ Co (4.63) [ Sb (0.85) [ Tl (0.04) [ Cd (0.03) [ Hg (0.001) [ Se (\ LOQ). No PHE concentrations exceeded the permissible levels defined in the Polish law. The PHE solubility (extracted with CaCl 2) in the total concentration ranged in the following order: Fe (3.3%) [ Cd (2.50%) [ Ni (0.75%) [ Zn (0.48%) [ Cu (0.19%) [ Pb (0.10%) [ Cr (0.03%). The soil contamination indices revealed moderate contamination with Zn, ranging from uncontaminated to moderately contaminated with Pb, and, practically, no contamination with other PHEs was identified. The ecological risk indices revealed that soils ranged from uncontaminated to slightly contaminated with Zn, Pb, As, Cu, and Ni. The PCA indicated natural sources of origin of Co, Cu, Hg, Sb, Zn, Cr, and Pb, as well as anthropogenic sources of origin of Cd, Ni, As, and Tl. The human health risk assessment (HHRA) for adults and children decreased in the following order of exposure pathways: ingestion [ dermal contact [ inhalation of soil particles. The total carcinogenic risk values for both adults and children were at the acceptable level under residential (1.62E-05 and 6.39E-05) and recreational scenario (5.41E-06 and 2.46E-05), respectively, as well as for adults in agricultural scenario (1.45E-05). The total noncarcinogenic risk values for both adults and children under residential scenario (1.63E-01 and 4.55E-01, respectively), under recreational scenario (2.88E-01 and 6.69E-01, respectively) and for adults Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (

“…Although presence and availability of metals depend on pedogenic processes, it is widely accepted that anthropogenic activities, such as mining, agriculture, and sewage disposal, are some of the main drivers of the increase of total and available metal(loids) in soils (Wong et al 2006). Metal(loid) enrichment is a well-known issue, and although there is no clear information about the global soil surface affected by metal(loids) (Hou and Ok 2019), several studies and reports have discussed the potential risk derived from metal enrichment in a different countries (Barsova et al 2019;Kabir et al 2012;Tóth et al 2016).…”

Metal pollution is a long-term and high-scale environmental disturbance that can cause serious effects on soil health, biodiversity, and human communities. One of the alternatives to rehabilitate these areas is phytostabilization, a technique in which plant species are used to decrease the availability of potentially dangerous metals to the environment. However, in metal-affected areas from arid and semiarid ecosystems, a new set of abiotic limitations are introduced. High temperatures, drought, erosion, and soil salinization are some of the conditions that plants have to endure in order to survive and grow in these highly disturbed

“…Pollutants mobility is greatly influenced by physical and chemical characteristics of soil, especially those pollutants which are easily water soluble, attached with minerals and organic components present on the surface of soil, or precipitated chemically to solid compounds [1]. The soil physical properties (texture, bulk density, porosity, permeability and color) play a significant role in the promotion of conditions for the interaction between pollutants and soil particles/water and their migration through the soil, until they reach other environmental compartments [2].…”

Investigation of Lithium Application and Effect of Organic Matter on Soil Health

The extensive use of lithium (Li) ion-based batteries has increased the contamination of soil and water systems due to widespread dispersal of Li products in the environment. In the current study, the influence of Li application on soil fertility and leachate was observed. Three soil samples were collected and five treatments of Li (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg/L) were applied. After three months of Li treatment, leachate was collected and soil samples were subjected to physical and chemical analyses. The results showed that the mean values of soil pH were increased slightly after Li application while electrical conductivity (EC) ranged from 1.2 to 5.1 µS/cm, indicating that soil was slightly saline in nature. The sodium was observed to be greater than the recommended values (0.3–0.7 mg/kg) in Li-amended soil while calcium and magnesium values decreased in soils compared to untreated soil. Mean values of phosphorus and potassium were greater before Li application and reduced considerably after Li application. Leachate analysis showed that all the parameters differed significantly except those of zinc and iron. The EC of leachate samples ranged from 2286–7188 µS/cm, which shows strong salinity. The sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) ranged from 1–11, which indicates that it falls into the marginal soil category. Lithium concentration in leachate samples ranged from 0–95 mg/L, which was significantly higher than the acceptable value for lithium (2.5 mg/L) in leachate. A soil sample (3) with an additional 10% organic matter showed that after Li application, the loss of nutrients in leachate was less as compared to the other two samples, demonstrating that organic matter improved soil conditions and suppressed the negative effects of Li on soil. Our results could raise concerns about risks in situations where food and fodder crops are associated with Li-contaminated waste disposal.
