Abstract:
The paper present dates concerning the macro - (N, P, K) and micro elements (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, Co, Ni, Pb) in some urban soils from three large Romanian cities: Bucharest, Iasi and Baia-Mare. The soil samples from different locations as park areas, along the streets areas with intense cars traffic and/or in influence zones of some industrial objective with chemical or non-ferrous processing activities recorded heavy metals loading. In these soils the heavy metals concentration outrun by 3-4 times the maximum allowable limits. In urban soils located in Baia-Mare area, 70-80% from the total heavy metals content (Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn) is mobile forms that could be absorbed by plants. |
