“…The Selective Sequential Extractions based on predefined procedures provided interesting information on bioavailability, and consequently, the risk of environmental contamination (Makovníková et al, 2006;Boriová et al, 2015). In the fractionation carried out by the Selective Sequential Extraction, the individual solid phases are elucidated from the accumulation media together with the elucidation of the elements associated with these phases (Cuske et al, 2017). Methods that use various extraction agents to determine the bioavailability of an element are useful in assessing real ecological risks (Antonkiewicz, Pełka, 2014;Boriová et al, 2015;Belyuchenko et al, 2016).…”

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.

“…Copper concentrations in soil solutions obtained from non-amended polluted soils, examined in previous studies, turned out to depend primarily on soil pH values, and then on total concentrations of Cu in soils [16][17]. The differences in DOC concentrations in nonamended soils were small, and therefore this factor had no significant impact on diversity of Cu concentrations in soil solutions of untreated soils (Figs 1-3) [17].…”

“…The differences in DOC concentrations in nonamended soils were small, and therefore this factor had no significant impact on diversity of Cu concentrations in soil solutions of untreated soils (Figs 1-3) [17]. However, the concentrations of Cu in soil solutions of BL-amended soils were considerably higher in comparison to soil solutions of control soils (Figs 1-3).…”

“…Our previous studies, carried out with the same soils [15][16][17] showed that the concentrations of lead and zinc, i.e., two other potentially toxic metals, in the soil solutions of control soils were low (in the ranges 0.01-0.09 mg L -1 and 0.03-1.50 mg L -1 , respectively), and had no effect on the toxicity measured in both tests. This statement was confirmed by the results of a PCA analysis presented elsewhere [15].…”

Soil solutions were collected from soils contaminated differently by the emissions from a copper smelter and incubated with beech litter. Five times in 30 days of incubation, soil solutions were acquired with MacroRhizon samplers and examined using the chemometric approach and two ecotoxicological assays: Microtox with Vibrio fischeri bacteria and Phytotoxkit with Sinapis alba seeds. Copper speciation in soil solutions was modeled in the MinteQ program. Application of beech litter to soils resulted in a considerable increase of copper solubility. The toxicity of soil solutions was associated with total copper concentrations in solutions, copper speciation, and pH values. The toxicity measured by the Phytotoxkit test in soil solutions collected from non-amended soils was higher than that measured in Microtox, and was attributed to high concentrations of copper organic complexes in solutions. The application of beech litter, rich in dissolved organic carbon DOC, resulted in a radical increase of soil solution toxicity to both indicating organisms. This effect, particularly well expressed in the case of V. fischeri, was apparently caused by a decrease in pH and associated increase of total Cu concentrations in solutions.

“…Cu fertilizers contain soluble, highly mobile Cu that can migrate deep into the soil profile. Over time, Cu transforms into less mobile compounds [13]. The effectiveness of this process depends on the sorption capacity of the soil.…”

Total copper distribution in the soil profile was determined, depending on the type of soil and Cu dose, 5 years after the application of this element. Soil samples were taken from 5 layers to 50 cm depth from microplots filled with 3 types of soil that 5 years earlier had been treated with 5 doses of Cu: 4, 8, 12, and 16 kg ha-1. There was an uneven distribution of Cu in the soil profile. In general the Cu decreased in the subsurface layers (10-30 cm) and increased in deeper layers (30-50 cm) in relation to the surface layer (0-10 cm). Using PCA analysis, both soils and doses of similar Cu distribution in the soil profile were pointed out. The distribution pattern in the sandy soil differed from the other two sandy loam soils. Additionally, for 4 and 8 kg ha-1 doses, we recorded a similar Cu distribution as for the soil with natural Cu concentration. On the other hand, in the case of the doses of 12 and 16 kg ha-1 , there was a distinctly different pattern of distribution. The maximum dose of Cu, which can be applied every 5 years, is 8 kg ha-1 for the sandy soil with a low content of organic matter and 12 kg ha-1 for sandy loam.
