ZAWARTOŚĆ METALI CIĘŻKICH W GLEBACH

I ROŚLINACH PRZY DRODZE KRAJOWEJ NR 7

OLSZTYNEK – PŁOŃSK

 

CONCENTRATION OF HEAVY METALS IN SOIL

AND PLANTS ALONG THE STATE ROAD No 7 OLSZTYNEK – PŁOŃSK

 

 

Zarys treści: W artykule przedstawiono stopień zanieczyszczenia gleb i roślinności trawiastej występującej przy drodze krajowej nr 7 wzdłuż 120 kilometrowego odcinka między Olsztynkiem a Płońskiem. W 11 punktach określono koncentrację arsenu, cynku, kadmu, miedzi, ołowiu i rtęci. We wszystkich badanych punktach nie stwierdzono przekroczenia dopuszczalnych zawartości metali ciężkich określonych normami.

 

 

SUMMARY

 

        The paper presents the study on the intensity of soil and grass plant pollution along the state road No 7. Soil and plants were sampled at 11 locations along the 120-km long section of the state road E-7 from Olsztynek to Płońsk. The sampling points were established on the meadows and fields 20 m away from the edge of road. The soil was sampled from arable-humic horizon at 0-25 cm. Plants were sampled at the same locations. From among 11 sampling points, the highest concentration of arsenic, cadmium, copper and lead in plants were deter-mined near the village Królikowo, whereas zinc, cadmium copper and mercury reached the highest levels in plants sampled near the village Zamoście. Relatively high concentrations of zinc, copper, lead and mercury were detected in the soil samples collected near the towns: Olsztynek (Królikowo), Mława and Płońsk. The content of heavy metals in soil was correlated with physical and chemical properties of the soil. High concentration of humus, high sorptive complex and high pH reduced the accumulation of heavy metals in grass plants. However, the physical and chemical properties of soil showed no evident effect on the content of mercury in soil and grass. Permissible levels of heavy metals were not exceeded at any of the sampling points, and their amounts determined in the study remained at natural levels.
