Source apportionment, contamination levels, and spatial prediction of potentially toxic elements in selected soils of the Czech Republic
Original language description
The sustenance of humans and livestock depends on the protection of the soil. Consequently, the pollution of the soil with potentially toxic elements is of great concern to humanity. The objective of this study is to investigate the source apportionment, concentration levels and spatial distribution of potentially toxic elements in selected soils in Frýdek Místek. The total number of soil samples was 70 (topsoil 49 and 21 subsoils) and was analysed using a portable XRF machine. Contamination factor and the pollution index load were used for the assessment and interpreting the pollution and distribution of PTEs in the soils. The inverse distance weighting was used for the spatial evaluation of the PTEs. The results of the analysis showed that the area is composed of low-to-high pollution site. PTEs displayed spatial variation patterns. The PTEs Cr, Ni, Cu, Rb, Y, Zr, Ba, Th, and Fe were far above the baseline European average value and the World average value level, respectively.
