Abstract

V originále

The aim of the study paper was to evaluate a rate of soil contamination by heavy metals from the expected contaminated site 1 (Odra Hills) and expected contaminated site 2 (Drahany Upland) using Coefficient of Industrial Pollution (CIP). In the total, 37 topsoil samples were collected. The pH and ORP parameters were used to evaluate changes in environment. Among the study elements are arsenic, copper, zinc and lead and to evaluate them the X-ray spectroscopy was used. The Coefficient of Industrial Pollution (CIP) reporte d medium soil contamination at the Shooting Range areas from ECS1 as well as from ECS2. The main source of copper and lead probably come locally from the munitions. The heavy metal content in the other anthropogenic-changed landscapes was compared to the natural background.
