“…Dangerous factors of anthropogenic origin are involved in processes that intensify the migration of metals to the edaphotope, which contributes to the reduction of vegetation (devegetation) and water depletion (dehumidification) and is destructive to the agrophysical, physicochemical and biological properties of soils, providing them with toxic properties [1][2][3]. These transformations arise mainly from the deposition of heavy metals caused by the emissions of metal-bearing dust, liquid and solid industrial and municipal waste, agricultural fertilizers and plant protection products, and motor traffic flow through roads and streets [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Any metal (metalloid) can be considered an impurity if it is present where it is not desired or in a form or concentration that causes harmful effects to humans or the environment [13].…”

The aim of the investigation was to evaluate the response of plants, using black mustard (Brassica nigra L. Koch) as a model plant, to soil contamination with copper (0, 200, 400, 600 mg Cu kg−1 of soil), and to determine the effectiveness of the Cu immobilization with mineral neutralizing materials, such as lime, clay and zeolite. The plant yield depended on soil contamination and mineral amendments. In the series without neutralizing materials, the level of 600 mg Cu kg−1 reduced the yield and increased leaf greenness. Lime alleviated the toxicity of Cu in objects with 200 mg Cu kg−1. Zeolite slightly mitigated the harmful effects of Cu at the level of 400 and 600 mg kg−1. Zeolite lowered the SPAD index. In the chemical composition of plants, the content of Cu, K, Mg, Na and Ca in plants increased to 400 mg Cu kg−1, while the content of P decreased to 600 mg Cu kg−1. Among the materials, lime reduced the Cu accumulation in plants the most, followed by clay. Cu narrowed the majority of ratios and widened the Ca:P and K:Ca ratios in plants. The applied mineral materials, except lime, did not significantly affect the formation of these indicators.

“…Other sources of trace metals are industrial waste, municipal sewage and wastewater, fertilizers and plant protection chemicals (BOWSZYS et. al 2009, WO£OSZYK et al 2009. In Poland, soil contamination with heavy metals is detectable locally, mainly in industrialized areas, although in some locations near sources of emission, soils can be heavily polluted (ROSADA 2007, DOPIERA£A 2009, SZULC, KOBIERSKI 2010.…”

Copper is an essential trace element in living organisms, but its excess interferes with metabolic transformations in plant, animal and human cells. The uptake of copper from contaminated soils can be regulated, for example, by soil liming or application of other substances which enhance soil adsorption capacity and Cu binding in the substrate. The purpose of this study has been to assess the response of maize to soil contamination with copper depending on the applied neutralizing substances. The tested factors were increasing concentrations of Cu in soil: 0, 200, 400 and 600 mg Cu kg 1 dm, and soil application of mineral (lime, loam and zeolite) and organic (manure, peat and bark) neutralizing substances. Soil contamination with copper within the range of 200 to 600 mg kg 1 of soil caused reduction in maize yields. Positive influence such as alleviation of the harmful effect of copper contamination was demonstrated by lime and manure, which enhanced yields of maize, especially in the series polluted with 200 and 400 mg Cu kg 1. The other soil amending substances, especially peat added in amounts of 400 and 600 mg kg 1 of soil, caused a considerable depression in maize yields. A linear dependence has been demonstrated between the concentration of Cu in maize plants and the content of Cu in the substrate, with the root content of Cu being on average six-fold higher than in aerial organs. Mineral soil amendments significantly decreased the BTC index in maize compared to organic substances, and lime as well as pine bark decreased the BCF index to 2.33 and 1.67 versus the value of 4.21 found in the control treatment without any neutralizing substances. The uptake of copper depended on the volume of yield and to a lesser degree on the concentration of Cu in plants. The uptake of copper by plants was the highest in treatments contaminated with a rate of 200 mg Cu kg 1 , which was the consequence of higher yields from that treatment than from the plots polluted with 400 or 600 mg Cu kg 1 of soil.

“…In the second and third year maize absorbed more zinc in the treatments where farmyard manure or municipal sewage sludge were applied, particularly in larger doses. Also WO£OSZYK et al (2009) point to higher quantities of zinc taken up by plants fertilized with bigger doses of sewage sludge. On the other hand, BOWSZYS et al (2009) indicated the form of the applied sewage sludge (dried or granulated sludge) as another factor, apart form a sludge dose, which may condition the content and amounts of the element absorbed by plants.…”

The total content of heavy metals in soil does not indicate bioavailability of these elements after introduction of sewage sludge to soil. Determination of the rate of heavy metal mobilization from sewage sludge after its application to soil is very important for agricultural practice since it allows us to asses the rate at which these elements pass into the soil solution, which conditions their uptake by plants. This research has been conducted to assess the effect of farmyard manure and sewage sludge fertilization on the amounts of zinc and cadmium absorbed by maize and the content of their mobile forms in soil. The research consisted of a three-year pot experiment. Farmyard manure and sewage sludge fertilization resulted in larger total yields of maize biomass (for the 3-year period of the investigations) than harvested from the treatments where only mineral compounds were used as fertilizers. Irrespectively of the fertilizer dose, the total (for 3 years) amounts of zinc and cadmium absorbed by maize were the highest in the treatments where only mineral salts were added and Zn and Cd quantities taken up by maize in the first year of the experiment contributed to this result. Fertilization with farmyard manure and sewage sludge did not cause any significant mobilization of mobile zinc and cadmium forms in soil after the first year of the research. As a result of organic matter mineralization and progressing soil acidification, in the second and third year of the research, the content of mobile forms of the elements in soil increased, although to a lesser degree than under the influence of exclusively mineral treatment.
