Heavy metal pollution of urban soils

The chemical properties of urban soils (southeastern administrative district, Moscow) affecting the behavior of heavy metals were studied. The current heavy metal pollution level of the soils was assessed. The use of different approaches for the pollution standardization is shown to produce different results. The fractional composition of the metal compounds in the soils and the factors affecting its formation under technogenic pollution were investigated. In the district studied, the distribution of heavy metals by the fractions primarily depended on the chemical properties of the heavy metals themselves; the pollution level; and, to a lesser degree, on the soil properties. Zinc and cadmium were the most mobile metals in the soils studied.     

Schwermetalle in Oberböden des Warthetals unter städtischem Einfluß

Heavy metals in surface soils of the Warta river valley in an urban area In the urban area of the city of Poznan the contamination with heavy metals was investigated. From the top soil layers of five cross-sections of the valley of the Warta river 87 samples were collected. Beside common soil characteristics the contents of arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, manganese, phosphorus and zinc were analyzed. Predominantly the level of contamination with heavy metals is low in the valley soils. A higher level was found in the area of the old city centre. Especially the contents of lead, copper and zinc were raised. Downstream of the sewage plant discharge into the river Warta increased contents of lead and cadmium were found. The distribution of heavy metals in the river Warta sediments indicates that the reason of the local increase of heavy metal contents is the sewage water discharge, Correlations between the content of different heavy metals and other soil properties (pH, clay and P-content, C/N-ratio) were calculated.     

A Geostatistical Approach to Assess Concentration and Spatial Distribution of Heavy Metals in Urban Soils

Characterization of spatial variation of heavy metals in urban soils is essential to identify pollution sources and potential risks to humans and the environment. While heavy metals concentration in soils depends also on the nature of bedrock and on abiotic and biotic factors, it can be argued that nowadays, due to increasing human activities, it is determined mainly by anthropogenic sources. We determined concentrations and spatial distribution of heavy metals, with particular focus on those potentially toxic (As, Cr, Pb, V, and Zn), in urban and peri-urban soils of Cosenza-Rende (southern Italy). One hundred forty-nine samples of topsoil (0?C10?cm) were collected and analyzed for 36 elements by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). In addition, 18 samples of rocks were collected on outcrops of whole area and analyzed by ICP-ES and ICP-MS. Geostatistical methods were used to map the concentrations of major oxides and several minor elements. Heavy metals in the analyzed samples showed a wide range of concentrations, primarily controlled by the geochemical composition of bedrock, with the notable exceptions of Cu, Pb, and Zn, whose concentrations are heavily affected by land use and anthropogenic pollution in urban areas. Geochemical analysis and spatial distribution showed that high concentrations of potentially toxic elements are found in soils near major roads, indicating that anthropogenic factors determine the anomalies in these areas.

Magnetic signature and source identification of heavy metal contamination in urban soils of steel industrial city,Northeast China

Purpose

Identifying the spatial distribution and degree of heavy metal contamination in the soils is required for urban environmental management. Magnetic measurement provides a rapid means of determining spatial distribution and degree of soil pollution and identifying various anthropogenic sources of heavy metals. The purpose of this study was to characterize the magnetic signature of heavy metal contamination and identify the sources of heavy metals in urban soils from steel industrial city.

Materials and methods

A total of 115 urban topsoils from Anshan city, Northeast China, were collected and determined for magnetic properties and heavy metal concentration. Magnetic susceptibility (χlf) and saturation isothermal remanent magnetization (SIRM) were determined as proxy for ferrimagnetic mineral concentration. Magnetic minerals were identified by using Curie temperature, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). The Pearson’ correlation and matrix cluster analyses were used to establish the relationship between magnetic parameters and heavy metal concentrations.

Results and discussion

Urban topsoils exhibit characteristic magnetic enhancement. The magnetic measurement in particle size fractions indicates that 50–2 μm fraction has the highest low-field magnetic susceptibility (χlf), while <2 μm has the highest frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility (χfd) value. The soil χlf and SIRM values are significantly correlated with the contents of metals (Fe, Pb, Zn, Cu, and Cr) and Tomlinson pollution load index (PLI), which indicates that χlf and SIRM could be served as better indicators for the pollution of heavy metals in the urban topsoil. Spatial distribution maps of χlf, SIRM, and PLI indicate that the pollution hotspots tend to associate with the regions within and close to steel industrial zones. XRD and Curie temperature analyses indicate that the main magnetic minerals of urban topsoils are magnetite (Fe₃O₄), hematite (α-Fe₂O₃), and metallic iron. Magnetic minerals mostly occur in the pseudo-single-domain/multidomain (PSD/MD) grain size range, which is the dominant contributor to the magnetic enhancement of topsoils. SEM observation reveals that magnetic particles in soils exist in irregular-shaped particles and spherule. Results reveal that heavy metals from industrially derived and traffic emissions coexist with coarse-grained magnetic phases.

Conclusions

It is concluded that the magnetic measurement could be regarded as a proxy tool to detect the level of heavy metal pollution and identify the source of heavy metals in urban soils. Magnetic properties provide a fast and inexpensive method to map the spatial distribution of long-term pollution from steel industrial origin on region scale.

     

Adsorption density,mobility and limit values of Cd,Zn, Cu and Pb in acid forest soils

To investigate Cd, Zn, Cu and Pb adsorption in acidified forest soils, six soil samples of the aluminium buffer range were selected and analyzed for their physical and chemical properties. Determination of the specific surface area using ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGME) adsorption yielded a characteristic value of the solid phases, which can parameterize the major properties of the various soil constituents with sufficient accuracy.

Traditional adsorption isotherms reveal the relation between the amount of a heavy metal adsorbed and the heavy metal concentration in the soil solution only for the soil under study and can therefore not be applied to other soils. To meet the aim of modelling heavy metal adsorption and mobility also for soils differing greatly in their properties, it was attempted to establish a generalizing adsorption isotherm for soils of entirely different composition of the solid phase. The generalizing adsorption density isotherms introduced in the following provide a useful mathematical model for the quantity/intensity relation of heavy metals in soils that differ greatly in their specific surface area and their composition.

It is also shown that limit values which take into account the major quantities influencing heavy metal adsorption and mobility in acid soils can be established from the regression equation between the adsorption density of a heavy metal (ions/m² specific surface area) and its concentration in the soil solution. In particular in view of the groundwater contamination to be expected if acid rain and, as a result, soil acidification continues, these limit values seem to provide considerably more information than the European limit values, given in mg heavy metal /kg soil, which are presently valid for any soil condition and property.     

Soil Fertility Characteristics and Organic Carbon Stock in Soils of Vegetable Gardens Compared with Surrounding Arable Land at the Center of the Urban and Industrial Area of Ruhr,Germany

Soil fertility is the basis for production of high green mass, which has numerous essential benefits in urban areas. This study aimed to investigate the soil fertility of urban land. This was done by comparing soils from a vegetable garden and its surrounding arable land. A local brickwork dump was included. The soils were Hortisols, slightly stagnogleyic Luvisols, and a Regosol from sandy loamy silt. The location of the study was in the center of one of the world’s largest urban, hard-coal mining and heavy industry areas, the Ruhr area in Germany. The investigations for identifying the characteristic features of the soil fertility involved determination of the profile horizons, texture, pH, bulk density, C/N ratio, content and stocks of organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus and potassium, and soil water by field capacity. As they are expected to become construction land, the sites were already in a derelict state. The results show that all three soil types had high fertility characteristics. However, the fertility of the garden soils was much greater than that of the local arable land. This was due to the strong and deep accumulation of organic carbon due to compost application. The available phosphorus and potassium contents and field capacity were also distinctly increased in the garden soils. The spatial distribution and distribution with depth of pH, bulk density, organic carbon, nitrogen, available phosphorus, and potassium were extremely heterogeneous among the individual garden soils. In contrast, in the arable land, they were uniform. The organic carbon accumulation in the dump was in the range of that of the garden soils, but the nutrient contents were lower. These results show that the diversity of properties of urban soils is much higher than that of arable soils. The dereliction of arable, garden, and dump soil and vegetation by bushes and trees also affect the soil properties. There should be greater awareness of the high fertility of urban soils, such as vegetable garden soils. Vegetable garden soils have a high potential for contributing to solving urban problems by producing high volumes of biomass and storing water. Therefore, it should be demanded that vegetable garden soils receive a high protection status, and they should not be used for the establishment of construction.     

Distribution of Cd, Ni, Cr, and Pb in Amended Soils from Alicante Province (SE, Spain)

Heavy metals can be transferred from soils to other ecosystem parts and affect ecosystems and human health through the food chain. Today the use of biosolids to improve the nutrient contents of a soil is a common practice. Contamination of soils by potentially toxic elements (e.g., Cd, Ni, Cr, Pb) from amendments of biosolids is subject to strict controls within the European Community in relation to total permissible metal concentrations, soil properties and intended use. In this context, heavy metal concentrations were studied in agricultural soils devoted to vegetable crops in the province of Alicante (SE Spain), where an intensive agriculture takes place. This study is aimed at ascertaining the chemical partitioning of Cd, Ni, Cr, and Pb in agricultural soils repeatedly amended with sludge. Selected soil properties relevant to control the mobility and bioavaibility of heavy metals were analyzed for the general characterisation of these agricultural soils. The distribution of chemical forms of Cd, Ni, Cr, and Pb in five biosolids-amended soils was studied using a sequential extraction procedure that fractionates the metal into soluble-exchangeable, specifically sorbed-carbonate bound, oxidizable, reducible, and residual forms. The biosolids incorporation has modified the soil composition, leading to the increment of heavy metals. The residual, reducible, and carbonate-sorbed forms were dominant. Detailed knowledge of the soil at the application site, especially pH, CEC, buffering capacity, organic matter, clay minerals, and clay content, is essential.     

Humus Horizons of Soils in Urban Ecosystems

The origin, structure, composition, and properties of soil humus horizons in functional zones of St. Petersburg have been studied. The radiocarbon age of organic matter in the humus horizons varies from 500 to 2700 years, which attests to the natural origin of humus. The structure of microbiomes in the humus horizons of soils under different plant communities has its specific features. The taxonomic structure of microbial communities at the phylum level reflects both genetic features of natural soils and the impact of anthropogenic factors, including alkalization typical of the studied urban soils. Tomographic studies have shown that the transporting system of humus horizons is less developed in the anthropogenically transformed soils in comparison with the natural soils. It can be supposed that the intensity of water and gas exchange in the anthropogenic soils is much lower than that in the natural soils. The fractional and group composition of humus in the urban soils is specified by the long-term pedogenesis, on one hand, and by the impact of metabolic products of the city and the factors of soil formation in the megalopolis, on the other hand. Bulk density of the humus horizon in the urban soils is higher than that in the natural soils; the portion of overcompacted humus horizons in the urban soils reaches 44%. Humus horizons of the lawns along highways are most contaminated with heavy metals: Pb, Zn, and Cu. There are no definite regularities in the distribution of major nutrients (NPK) in the humus horizons of anthropogenic soils.
