CHAPTER 13: HEAVY METAL CONTENT OF SOILS IN THE KARSTIC AREA OF NORTH HUNGARY.

Research on Aggtelek karsts includes examinations of physical and chemical parameters of the soils, especially the acid soluble and the extractable (with EDTA solution) heavy metal content. The assessment of anthropogenic influent has come to the forefront during the last decades. Research of heavy metal contamination has become increasingly more significant among investigations. The article presents the relationship between two forms of heavy metal content in the karstic soil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
