“…These results are in accordance with recent studies (44,22). Although an enrichment of soils with Zn has been reported when these materials were used during long-term repeated additions, after the abandonment of agricultural applications and remaining trace metals in the soil (30). The highest value of total Pb in soil was measured (48 mg/kg) in site 10 during September, while the lowest value (17 mg/kg) in sites 2, 12, and 14 during March and site 14 during September, with statistically, significant differences at (P<0.05) among studied samples ( Figure 5).…”

This study was aimed to investigate pesticides bioaccumulation and their soil pollutant effect. The experiment was included sixteen active greenhouses in Erbil plane, and conducted during September 2017 and March 2018. The present study revealed that the pesticides residue of pyridabine, thiamethoxam, abamectin and spirodiclofen were detected in greenhouse soil samples. The values of soil heavy metals contaminations factor (CF) revealed, that the studied greenhouse soil samples were ranged from low to very high contamination, while for pesticides were ranged from non to high contaminated. Soil pollution load index results supported that, the greenhouse soil was contaminated especially by Cr, Ni and Co. Pollution load index (PLI) was ranged from 7.751 to 0.303; supporting that the soils were contaminated in most sites. It could be concluded that, significant need for the development of pollution prevention and scientific strategies to reduce heavy metal pollution and pesticide accumulation residuals within greenhouses in Erbil plane.

samples had elevated PI values for Cd, 13.0% for Cu, and 16.7% for Pb, clearly indicating an anthropogenic contribution of these three elements. The IPI of the agricultural soils also indicated that most areas are classified as having moderate and high pollution. Higher contents of trace elements (except for Mn) were found in some cities of the Isfahan, Hamadan, and Tehran provinces. Excessive application of conventional and organic fertilizers, pesticides, animal manure, and sewage sludge for enhancing crop production is responsible for high trace element content in Iran's agricultural soils. This in turn, through the food chain, is a threat to human health. Analysis of the correlation between trace elements exhibited that Cu, Pb, and Zn (Cd, Pb and Zn) were very closely associated with each other, showing that their prevalent sources are common and the efforts to regulate them linked in common actions. We consider this evaluation as a viable approach to other similar areas in the Middle East and beyond, which could be used by environmental scientists for risk assessment and decision making.

“…The results also showed that the Cr content strongly increased from the lowest to the highest CTS rate and it can be explained by the high concentration of Cr in CTS. However, the increase in soil pH associated with the highest organic C, after the amendment of CTS, may control the availability of metals, such as Cr, and it could be a strategy for moving pollutants with environmental risk (Navarro-Pedreño et al 2018).…”

Purpose The consecutive amendment of composted tannery sludge (CTS) could promote changes in the status of soil microorganisms. Thus, this study evaluated the changes on microbial C and enzyme activities in soil after 9 years of CTS amendment. Methods CTS was amended from 2009 to 2018 at five rates: 0, 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 ton ha −1 . In 2018, the soil chemical properties (pH, electric conductivity, P, K, Cr, and total organic C), microbial C and enzyme activities were evaluated after 30 days from the amendment.Results The values of chemical properties increased after nine years of CTS application. The content of microbial C and the enzyme activities increased with the amendment of 2.5 and 5 ton ha −1 , and decreased with the amendment of 10 and 20 ton ha −1 . Conclusion This study showed that the amendment of 10 and 20 ton ha −1 of CTS increased soil pH and Cr concentration and promoted a decreasing on soil microbial C and enzyme activities.
