Soil contamination and human health: part 3.

This collection of papers submitted to this Special Issue is mainly an outcome of the Session SSS8.5, EGU2018 "Soil contamination and human health: advances and problems of risk assessment", the European Geosciences Union (EGU) Conference held in Vienna, April 2018. The average concentrations of Cu, Zn, Pb, As, Cd and Hg in the polluted soil were much higher than reference soil values. The accumulation of Cd and Zn in lettuce decreased in treated soil, indicating a Cd and Zn immobilization effect in soil by the amendments. The authors researched the process of vertical migration of radionuclide SP 60 sp Co in water-saturated soil samples of disturbed structure and the same initial bulk density types, species and varieties of soils and noted a significant variance in Deff SP 60 sp Co for investigated soils due to different soil characteristics.
