- Abstract
The mean content of BaP in the sealed soils is 56 times higher than that in the background soils, it exceeds the maximum permissible concentration by 9.5 times. Highest ER (3.36) observed for Cu in de sediment/ Cu in the topsoil revealing a preferential movement of Cu-rich soil particles by overland flow. The highest Er (24.6) observed for the bioavailable Cu content in eroded sediment sample shows that Cu accumulation in sloping vineyards is an ecological risk, particularly in the sedimentation zones. The enrichment factor revealed that soils in both dry and wet zones were moderately enriched with As, Cd and Pb, but the Pb concentration was higher in the dry zone rice soils.
