| Abstract | The aim of the study was to determine the content of selected fractions of bioavailable trace elements (Cd, Cr, Ni, Cu, Pb, Zn), the content of non-polar aliphatic hydrocarbons (NPA) in agricultural soils and the quality of drinking water from the Strawczyn intake. The tested soils had a neutral pH, the organic carbon content ranged from 0.92% to 1.02%. The bioavailable forms of the examined elements were characterized by a different percentage content between individual samples. In all the tested soils, the fractions that accounted for the highest percentage were the fraction with organic matter in the range of 9.1%-27.4% and the residual fraction in the range of 50.3%-75.2%, in which the immobilized metals accumulate in the residue insoluble in concentrated acids. The pH values of the tested soil from all the areas were in the range of pH 6.6-7.5, and the content of NPA was on average 26.74 mg/kg in all areas. The quality of drinking water from the deep water intake in Strawczyn is at the level of drinking water from the Zagnansk, it is low-mineralized, low-fluoride water, containing a large group of microelements beneficial for health. |
