This study assessed metal lability in soil and grass near pollution sources. Labile cadmium, copper, and zinc levels in grass indicate their availability in metal-polluted soil-plant systems.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Geochemistry
  • Soil Science

Background:

  • Anthropogenic activities like mining and traffic emissions contribute to metal pollution in soils.
  • Understanding metal lability and bioavailability in soil-plant systems is crucial for assessing environmental risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the short-medium term potential lability of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and lead (Pb) in soils.
  • To compare a rapid sequential extraction method with the Tessier sequential procedure for metal fraction analysis.
  • To investigate the relationship between total metal content, labile fractions, and metal uptake in grass.

Main Methods:

  • Collection of superficial soil and grass samples from 13 polluted sites in Gipuzkoa, Spain.
  • Application of a two-step sequential extraction procedure using CaCl(2) and DTPA to determine mobile and mobilisable metal fractions.

  • Utilisation of factor analysis to explore associations between total metal content, grass metal content, and sequential fraction levels.

    • Main Results:

    • The study determined the short-medium term potential lability of Cd, Cu, Zn, and Pb.
    • Labile levels of Cd, Cu, and Zn in grass were found to be related to their total metal content in grass.
    • The rapid sequential extraction method showed potential for assessing metal availability in polluted soil-plant systems.

    Conclusions:

    • Labile metal fractions in soil and grass provide insights into short-medium term metal lability.
    • The bioavailability of Cd, Cu, and Zn in grass is linked to their labile fractions, suggesting suitability for availability studies.
    • The developed rapid sequential extraction method is a viable tool for assessing metal availability in polluted environments.
