Experimental modeling with the aim of elucidation of the geochemical behaviour of heavy metal pollutants (Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu, Ni, Mn, Fe) and As during interphase processes in metallurgy contaminated area are carried out in 3 aspects: I. Water-soil interaction chemical simulation: 3D –lixiviation of soils and acid rain impact modeling, revealing consequences for a secondary remobilization and increasing the environmental risk for groundwater, vegetables, etc. II. Sorption ability of soils with fixing possibilities, ...

The degree of toxic metals contamination in water, vegetables and respective soils in the studied area - KCM Smelter site - Plovdiv-Assenovgrad is evaluated in individual and integral aspects. The analytical measurements were performed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES), Jobin Yvon ULTIMA 2. The analysis lines in the determination of impurities were selected in view of spectral interference. Ground, surface, waste - water and some corresponding soil samples were investigated for m...
