The paper focuses on the determination of studied risk elements (Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn) in the upper layer of agricultural land located in the inundation zone of the Stiavnica River in the cadastral area of Dudince village. The studied area is characterized by historical contamination of floodplains. The contamination vector is represented by the Stiavnica River that drains the nearby area of Stiavnica Mountains, an important mining area in the past. Analyzes to determine the exchange soil reaction and the content of ...

Trace elements, including elements with a negative impact on the environment, are a natural part of the lithosphere. However, with increasing industrialization, there is an uneven spatial distribution and an extreme increase in the concentration of these elements in the environment. It affects their content in the soil-plant system content. The aim of the paper is to define the content of risk elements in the soil profile to determine the level and origin of the soil contamination. The soil sampling was conducted ...
