Impact of Past Industrial Activity on the Content of Heavy Metals in the Soil/Grass System in Šibenik (Croatia)
The objective of this study was chemical characterization of soil samples affected by the dust emission and slag dumping from ferro-manganese smelter and ex-aluminium factory as well as uptake of metals by vegetation growing on that soil. Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) was used for the determination of elemental concentrations in soil, vegetation and different soil extracts. Results of chemical and statistical analyses together with calculated enrichment factors indicate that smelter and aluminium factory caused the severe heavy metal pollution of its surroundings which is still visible fourteen years after the production was ceased. Iron was the main component of metallurgical slag deposited near the smelter. Slag material was highly enriched in Zn, Cr, Cu, Co and Pb. V and Cr were enriched in the soil taken near the smelter approximately by a factor of two, Pb and Cu were increased fivefold whereas the mean content of Mn was about 130 times higher than the levels in background soil samples. Fortunately, elements from ex-aluminium factory are strongly bound to the mineral components of soil resulting in low degree of leaching and low heavy metal uptake by vegetation growing on the contaminated soil.
