TL;DRAbstract

The study was conducted in the area of influence of Mine and Power Plant “Turów” which, through the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants contribute to soil contamination, among other things by arsenic. The aim of this study was to determine the total content of this metal in samples of anable soils collected in the area of the impact of the above-mentioned emitters. At the same time their grain-size distribution and their physico-chemical properties, as pH and percentage of organic matter were determined. Soils collected from a depth of 0.0 to 0.3 m below ground surface, and from 0.3 to 0.6 m b.g.s. came from the area of direct impact of the mine and power plant (area of Bogatynia) and the region of Zgorzelec ,located out of the direct impact of emitters. Total arsenic content was determined by ICP- AES using a plasma spectrometer Varian Liberty Series II. All soil samples, independently of the place of origin, showed acid pH, and organic matter content in both research areas
