Sažetak
The soil is thin the loose layer of the Earth's surface, located between the lithosphere and atmosphere, originated from parent materials under the influence of pedogenetic processes. As conditionally renewable natural resource soil has a decisive influence on sustainable development of global economy, especially sustainable agriculture and environmental protection. In recent decades, a growing interest is seen for non-production soil functions, primarily those relating to environmental protection, especially protection of natural resources whose quality depends directly on soil and soil management. Soil contamination is one of the most dangerous forms of soil degradation with the consequences that are reflected in virtually the entire biosphere, primarily heterotrophic organisms, and also the man as a food consumer. Contamination is correlated with the degree of industrialization and intensity of agrochemical usage. It is typically caused by industrial activity, agricultural chemicals, or improper disposal of waste. The negative effects caused by pollution are undeniable: reduced agricultural productivity, polluted water sources and raw materials for food are only a few of the effects of soil degradation, while almost all human diseases (excluding AIDS) may be partly related to the transport of contaminants in the food chain or the air to the final recipients - people, plants and animals. The remediation of contaminated soil is a relatively new scientific field that is strongly developing in the last 30 years, and it is becoming more important subject. In order to achieve quality remediation of contaminated soil it is very important to conduct an inventory, as accurately as possible, that is, to determine the current state of soil contamination.
