Atmospheric deposition is an important source of heavy metal in soil and the use of dust collection cylinders is a traditional monitoring method. This method has limitations in agricultural areas because polluted soil particles may become resuspended and eventually deposited into these cylinders, leading to overestimates in the amount of atmospheri...

Soil in the karst region usually features high geogenic cadmium (Cd) and limited available phosphorus (P). Appropriate phosphate amendment is crucial for alleviating Cd accumulation in food crops and reducing health risks. However, the interaction of Cd and P in geogenic Cd-rich soil-plant systems is poorly understood. In this study, a pot experime...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are considered hazardous pollutants due to their negative impact on the environment and human health. PAHs can accumulate and be retained in the soil, so PAH pollution is a worldwide problem. This review paper highlights the sources of PAH soil pollution, factors affecting the bioavailability of PAHs in soil,...

This study examines the effects of oil contamination on three soil types—podzolic, sod-gley, and alluvial—in Western Siberia’s middle taiga, assessing key physical and chemical properties and the influence of the surfactant Modified Syntherol (MS) on oil degradation. In controlled laboratory experiments, oil was introduced at 50, 100, and 150 g/kg ...

This review examines the role of soil and sediment organisms as bioindicators in environmental pollution assessment. As fundamental elements of terrestrial ecosystems, soils harbour a rich and diverse biodiversity that plays a key role in regulating ecological processes. The use of bioindicators provides a sensitive and specific approach to detecti...

Soil contamination with heavy metals is a significant environmental issue that adversely affects plant growth and agricultural productivity. Biochar and microbial inoculants have emerged as a promising approach to solving this problem, and previous studies have focused more on the remediation effects of single types of materials on heavy metal soil...

Sustainable soil resource management requires detailed knowledge of soil pollution sources and their share in total pollution level. Spatial pollution caused by the total cumulative atmospheric deposition remains largely unknown, as the biggest pollutant emissions occurred in XIX/XX centuries. The use of ombrotrophic peatlands that are specific iso...

The origin and bioavailability of nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), and cobalt (Co) have been assessed in the Čemernica River basin among the following soil types: Leptosol on serpentinite and Fluvisol, Vertisol, and Leptosol on sandstone. Alongside the impact of serpentine rocks, part of the region also displays significant anthropogenic activity. A seq...

The use of sulfur (S) in polluted soils can reduce metal(loid) toxicity and enhance phytoremediation effectiveness. Here we studied the response of barley plants to As in soil amended with sulfate or elemental sulfur throughout the growing cycle. A greenhouse experiment was carried out using 4-L pots filled with clay-loam soil spiked with 60 mg kg−...

The present study addresses the war-related soil contamination with heavy metals in the urban area of Mosul/Iraq as a result of the war of liberation from ISIS (2014–2017). In order to cover seasonal influences, a total of eight sample sets from soils in the conflict area and adjacent areas were collected over the course of the year in two three-mo...
