Influence of the soil sealing on the geoaccumulation index of heavy metals and various pollution factors. [PDF]
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int, 2017 Soil sealing belongs to the most destructive and damaging processes to the soil environment. Soil sealing interrupts or greatly restricts the exchange of matter and energy between the biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere and the soil environment. The aim of this study was to compare the content of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Fe, Ni, Pb, Zn) of ...
