“…The most difficult problem associated with the contamination of soils with heavy metals is that they cannot be naturally degraded like organic pollutants and they can be accumulated in different parts of the food chain (Šmejkalová et al 2003). Once heavy metals enter soils, they can be present there for long time, becoming threat not only to crops in the neighborhood of the contaminated area, but also being transferred to plants and thus posing potential threat to human health (Sipter et al 2008).…”

This study was aimed to determine the impact of risk element content on the prevalence of the selected microbial groups in industrial soils of one of the steelworks in Poland. The concentration of heavy metals: Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn along with soil pH and the number of mesophilic bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes and Azotobacter was assessed in 20 soil samples. The limit concentrations of Cd, Pb and Zn were exceeded in five sites. However, even in these strongly contaminates sites, the studied microorganisms were abundant. The correlation between the concentration of heavy metals and microbial numbers was very weak and statistically insignificant. High numbers of fungi were observed in the contaminated sites, which was particularly interesting in one of the sites, strongly contaminated with Cd, Pb and Zn.

“…a levélzöldségek) ugyanis számottevő, a táplálékként való fogyasztást kizáró bioakkumulációra képesek. Szennyezett területeken is lehetséges, hogy a helyben termesztett növények elfogyasztása nem okozna problémát (SIPTER et al, 2008), de előfordulhat ennek ellentéte is, amikor a talajszennyezés nem kockázatos mértékű, viszont a növények nyomelemtartalma már igen (MURRAY et al, 2009).…”

The combination of chemical stabilisation (using fly ash, lime and steel shots) and phytostabilisation (using grass mixture and two Sorghum species) were applied to remediate a highly acidic metal ore mine waste in Gyöngyösoroszi, Hungary. The change in metal mobility was monitored by chemical, biological and ecotoxicological methods. Chemical stabilisation reduced the amount of Cd from 441 to 0.42 µg l −1 , Cu from 1510 to 11.7 µg l −1 and Zn from 89079 to 48.8 µg l −1 in drainage water and extractable As from 0.404 to 0.086 mg kg −1 in waste within two years. The high toxicity of the mine waste was reduced to nontoxic and healthy vegetation developed on the previously barren surface with metal content fulfilling animal fodder quality criteria. The technology reduced the risk on all possible pathways fulfilling all target criteria.
