“…Such a highly toxic element is ubiquitous cadmium (Cd) (Liu et al, 2016;Shi-Wei et al, 2016;Peng et al, 2017). This work is focused on toxic Cd, which belongs to the element with a high risk potential for soil, plants and human health (Meharg et al, 2013;Das et al, 2014;Shi-Wei et al, 2016;Borgulat et al, 2018) and is focused on remediation medium -garden compost, which is usable in agricultural practices and has the potential to reduce the availability of toxic elements to the environment. It needs to be used more in the present practice.…”

Soil is a sensitive ecological factor. Biodegradable materials from the environment can also be used to deal with serious ecological problems. Soil affecting by remediation medium - garden compost - was analysed for toxic cadmium (Cd) in terms of environmental protection. The objective of this research was to analyse soil and compost at foothill locality of the Tribeč Mountains (Southwestern Slovakia) in the years 2015−2017 to determine Cd contents in soil and compost, pH and to assess Cd bioavailability. The analyses were carried out using the Atomic Absorption Spectrometry with seven-step Selective Sequential Extraction methods. The results obtained were evaluated statistically using the SAS 9.4 software method by Spearman’s correlation coefficient. The results showed that Cd contents in soil had reached 2.96 mg kg−1 and soil with compost (the ratio 1:1) 2.71 mg kg−1 dry matter. Cd contents in the soil exceeded maximum allowed limit of 196%. And deceased by 25% after adding compost. The pH in soil with compost varied from 6.78 to 7.98. The pH prevented the mobility of Cd about 8.3% in average. Statistical dependence was high, which was demonstrated for relationship between Cd in soil, pH and compost. Available Cd forms in soil were 53.3% and soil with compost were 45% in average. The garden compost as a remediation medium reduced Cd bioavailability.

“…The research on PAH levels in peats is very interesting (Borgulat et al, 2018). Although, from a formal point of view, peat is not a soil, but a young sedimentary rock, it practically behaves in many aspects like soil.…”

“…Very important results were obtained for the Iława Główna railway junction (Malawska, Wiłkomirski, 2001). This junction (built in 1870) is located in northern Poland about 200 km north of Warsaw on the Warsaw-Gdańsk railway route in the western part of the Mazurian Lake Region.…”

“…The objective of the study carried out by Banger et al (2010) was to determine the depth-wise distribution (0-15, 15-30, and 30-45 cm) of 16 PAHs compounds in four urban soils of different land uses (residential, public parks, public buildings, and commercial areas) in Miami, Florida, USA. Results showed that across use soils, total PAHs were significantly greater at surface (1869 ppb) than sub-surface (478-1079 ppb).…”

The paper contains the research results on content of total and mobile heavy metals compounds (lead, cadmium, copper, and zinc) in soils of the cutover peat bog Zenginsky located in the central part of the Kirov Region. As a result of the conducted researches it is revealed that the content of elements in different peat layers in control site (zinc - up to 2,60; copper - up to 0,90; lead - up to 5,60; cadmium - up to 0,59 mg/kg of soil) does not exceed the level of their maximum-permissible concentration and background contents in soils of the Kirov Region. For the undeveloped site the increased content of total and mobile compounds of the studied metals in the top layers is noted; it can be caused by biogenous accumulation of these elements by plants. The developed soils (the drained sites) are characterized by considerable fluctuations of elements content both in different profiles, and in the different layers of the same profile. Here the maximum content of elements in separate layers is much higher than control (zinc - up to 126,0; copper - up to 34,0; lead - up to 17,0; cadmium - up to 1,2 mg/kg of soil). Economic use of the peat bogs leads to an active mineralization of the top part of the remained peat mass. As a result of these processes stability of biogeochemical cycles of separate elements is broken. At the same time, the received data allow to consider soils of control sites as indicators of surrounding environment condition. The good safety of peat deposits gives the opportunity to study processes of accumulation and migration of chemical elements.
