Abstract

Analysis of potential heavy metal pollution of cultivated areas near A2 highway was undertaken in 2009. Eleven localities were selected and soil samples (depth 0–20 cm, distance from road 25, 50, 75 m) were taken close to oldest highway parts (opened 2002 and 2004). Estimated levels of lead, cadmium and chrome were not related to the distance from the road and were below legally accepted amounts. Amount of lead ranged from 5.5 to 15.2 mg·kg-1 (accepted level - 100 mg·kg-1), amount of cadmium ranged from 0.04 to 0.22 (accepted — 4.0 mg·kg-1), and amount of chromium from 4.10 to 18.2 (accepted — 150.0 mg·kg-1). Contents of cadmium and chrome were related to soil electro conductivity, and therefore these metals probably originated from fertilizers.
