Contamination of soils with Cu, Na and Hg due to the highway and railway transport

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Contamination of soils with three metals due to the highway and railway transport was studied. Copper was selected as a suitable indicator for both kinds of transportation. Sodium served to assess the level of contamination resulting from the road salting in winter. Mercury was determined in samples taken close to the railway in order to test its release from impregnated wooden ties. All analytes were determined using the methods of the trace element analysis; values are expressed as dry matter. The highest concentrations of copper, sodium and total mercury in soil samples were 52.7 mg/kg, 770 mg/kg and 0.181 mg/kg respectively. The highest copper content was observed in soils taken close to the railroad and the highway. Elevated sodium levels originated from winter road salting ? the highest winter value was 770 mg/kg as compared with maximal summer value of 416 mg/kg. The concentration of total mercury in soils depended on the type of railway ties used ? the highest values for location with wooden and concrete ties were 0.181 mg/kg and 0.145 mg/kg, respectively. Wooden railroad ties are considered as a potential source of mercury because of impregnation with antifungal mercury compounds.
