“…2C). This is in agreement with the observations in artificial soils of Arnold et al (2003), Currie et al (2005) and Langdon et al (2005). Earthworm reproduction was a greatly decreased in the field soils with pH values lower than 5.9, such as F0, F1, F3 and B0 (Table 1; Fig.…”

a b s t r a c tThis study aimed at assessing the bioavailability and toxicity of lead to Eisenia andrei in shooting range soils representing different land uses (forest, grassland, bullet plot). Soils contained 47e2398 mg Pb/kg dry weight (dw), but also had different pH-CaCl 2 (3.2e6.8) and organic matter contents (3.8e13%). Therefore artificial soils with different pH and organic matter contents and two natural soils were included as control soils. Earthworms were exposed for 28 days and toxicity and uptake of Pb were related to total, water and 0.01 M CaCl 2 extractable and porewater Pb concentrations as well as to soil characteristics. Pb uptake in the earthworms linearly increased with increasing soil concentrations. At >2000 mg Pb/kg dw and pH 3.3e3.5, high earthworm mortality with significant weight loss and complete inhibition of reproduction were recorded. At <1000 mg/kg dw, earthworm reproduction was more related to differences in pH and other soil characteristics than to Pb.

“…PHEs are present in soil bound to soil fractions with different solubility and chemical characteristics. Consequently, they may have different toxic effects on organisms (Rieuwerts et al 1998;Rodriguez et al 1999;Oomen et al 2000;Arnold et al 2003;Geebelen et al 2003;Krishnamurti and Naidu 2008;Buccolieri et al 2010). The risk posed by contaminated soils to human health depends on the potential of the PHEs to leave the soil and enter the human bloodstream (Wragg and Cave 2002).…”

Throughout the human history, the anthropic activity inevitably leads to a legacy of increased PHE concentration in the environment. Nowadays the urban environment can be considered the main habitat for humans. Therefore, the acknowledgment and the understanding of the impact of PHEs in urban soils and dusts is imperative in order to develop a plan for the sustainable management of urban areas, which should limit this impact on human and environmental health. A historical background regarding urban soil contamination is presented, along with an overview of the PHEs and PGEs found in urban soils. As humans are daily exposed to PHEs present in air, water and soil, studies are focusing on their longterm effects and on the toxicological impact of PHE (PHEs') combinations, rather that of single elements. The importance of a comprehensive assessment of PHEs in urban soils and dusts, including their bioavailability, is discussed.
