The kinetics of the migration of lead, cadium, cooper and zinc in the conditions of turf-podzol sandy loam and chernozem soil

In this paper the dynamics of migration of heavy metals (HM), namely Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, in turf-podzol sandy loam soil and chernozem soil in the presence of impact pollution was investigated. Experimental data were obtained during the period of 1999 to 2006. We applied exponential and Koller models to obtain the ranking of the metals according to their rate of dissipation from a 0–20 cm layer of soil. We also obtain a prediction of the amount of metals present in 20–100 cm layer of soil in mobile form. Our findings are relevant to estimating the metal hazard and controlling the condition of the soil for crop growth.
