- Abstract
The predominant soil types in the region of Kardzhali are maroon forest soils - highly leached and poorly podzolized. Most of the soils have medium to high erosion ability - II-III degree, and the pH is neutral to slightly alkaline (7-7,8). Few are weak and moderate acidic pH (6,7-5). Soils are mostly shallow to moderately deep, poor in nutrients. In the region of Kardzhali main pollutants are heavy metals from mining-processing and metallurgical business activities of "Gorubso-Kardzhali" - AD and LZC - AD, Kardzhali. In the paper are presented results of soil contamination mainly with lead, cadmium, copper and zinc, showing concentrations of lead in the soil over the MAC, according to Ordinance No 3/2008 Standards for acceptable content of harmful substances in soil.
