Soil contamination and health risks associated with former Pb and Zn ore smelting in Kabwe, Zambia
Original language description
In order to distinguish natural concentrations of metals from those ascribed to contamination by dust fallout, the soil sampling in the area of former Pb and Zn smelter in Kabwe, Zambia, was undertaken at two depth horizons: in contaminated topsoil and in reference soil horizon at a depth of 80-90 cm which is not affected by dust fallout. It was found that total Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu and Se contents are significantly higher in topsoil relative to subsurface soil over a large part of the surveyed area.
