“…Accumulation of heavy metals in soils is one of the main global ecological problems (Li and Li, 2001;Schwab et al, 2002;Gardea-Torresdey et al, 2005;Claus et al, 2007;Jankaite et al, 2008;Sayyad et al, 2009). Heavy metals are particularly hazardous due to their non-biodegradable nature and ability to accumulate over a relatively long period (Ding and Ji, 2010), which is related to the sorption capacity of the soils (During et al, 2002;Bai et al, 2010).…”

“…From the soil, they can enter plants and through them to the food chains. They can also migrate into surface water, groundwater, and migrate a large distance to re-enter the food chain and poison living organisms (Jankaite et al, 2008). Heavy metal content of soil is of major significance in relation to fertility and nutrient status as well as toxicity status.…”

The study of the concentrations of Cr, Zn, Cd, Pb, Ni, and Cu in soils under different land uses in rural, semi-urban, and urban zones in the Niger Delta was carried out with a view to providing information on the effects of the different land uses on the concentrations of trace elements in soils. Our results indicate significant variability in concentrations of these metals in soils under different land uses in rural, semi-urban, and urban zones. The maximum concentrations of metals in the examined soil samples were 707.5 mg.kg −1 , 161.0 mg.kg −1 , 2.6 mg.kg −1 , 59.6 mg.kg −1 , 1061.3 mg.kg −1 , and 189.2 mg.kg −1 for Cr, Zn, Cd, Pb, Ni, and Cu, respectively. In the rural zone, the cassava processing mill is a potent source of Ni, Cr, Cu, and Zn while agricultural activities are a source of Cd, and automobile emissions and the use of lead oxide batteries constitute the major sources of Pb. In the urban zone, soils around the wood processing mill showed elevated concentrations of Cu, Cr, Zn, and Ni, while soils around automobile mechanic works and motor parks showed elevated levels of Pb. Elevated Cd concentrations were observed in soils under the following land uses: urban motor park, playground, welding and fabrication sheds, and metallic scrap dump. The contamination/pollution index of metals in the soil follows the order: Ni > Cd > Cr > Zn > Cu > Pb. The multiple pollution index of metals at different sites were greater than 1, indicating that these soils fit into "slight pollution" to "excessive pollution" ranges with significant contributions from Cr, Zn, Cd, Ni, and Cu.

“…There are several types of highly toxic heavy metal compounds in sweep sand including chromium, copper, lead, nickel and other heavy metal compounds, which may have acute effects (Baltrėnas, Vaišis 2006). Chlorides and transition metals such as manganese, copper, chromium, and zinc have been shown to generate reactive compounds and can contribute to environmental damage (Jankaitė et al 2008;). snow melting salt as well as soil-related materials are thought to be relatively benign, but they may affect the toxicity or bioavailability of other particulate components (Arhami et al 2009).…”

“…Recently, a more comprehensive longer term study was operated by the Vilnius Regional environmental Protection Department and the Department of environmental Protection of Vilnius Gediminas technical university (lithuania). The results were summarized by Jankaitė et al (2008). The focus of that study was to determine heavy metal concentrations in sweep sand from sampling locations in Vilnius.…”

The main aim of this study was to characterize heavy metal compounds of sweep sand particles in the city of Vilnius (lithuania). These research results provide new insight into the distribution and variation of heavy metal compounds in sweep sand in the studied area. The results of this investigation reflect the level of heavy metal pollution during the winter season, thus can be used to judge the quality of storm water flowing from streets. The major heavy metals found to have accumulated were lead, nickel, zinc and copper. These research results are useful for conducting preliminary evaluations of possible heavy metal pollution in other similar cities within the european union. The general anthropogenic factor of three main types of land-use has the greatest influence on contamination of urban topsoil. in industrial sites, concentrations of key contaminants (Pb, Cu, Mn, ni) are significantly higher than in residential and public-residential areas. The present article discussed the significance of systematic sustainable evaluation as one of the most important activities associated with a sustainable approach. Consequently, to reduce a negative effect of salts on street environment, measures of environmentally sustainable development have to be undertaken.Keywords: heavy metals, deicing salts, sweep sand, sustainable development, valuation of environmental effects, environment and development.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Kazlauskienė, A.; Valentukevičienė, M.; ignatavičius, G. 2013. sustainability assessment of heavy metals and road maintenance salts in sweep sand from roadside environment,
