Comparative review of statistical parameters of the investigated micro-localities
Source publication
Arsenic, as the most common soil contaminant, was the subject of our research, presented in this publication. Namely, at the previous construction of the geochemical atlas of the presence of heavy toxic metals in the Skopje region soil, the area of about 300 km 2 has been explored. The analysis has been performed applying a semi quantitative method...

... The micro locality E-NE-SE around the OHIS factory is select, due to the indication of contamination of the soil with arsenic of anthropogenic origin from the previously realized preliminary research [1][2][3]. This is a consequence of long term production of pesticides by OHIS factory in which arsenic compounds have been used as active components, but it is also due to decades long use of agrochemical additives during agricultural activities. ...
The soils are continually contaminated with increasing contents of heavy toxic metals of anthropogenic origin that have negative influence on the eco system. In the focus of this research is arsenic as one of the most characteristic anthropogenic pollutants in soils. Research area is selected as part of Skopsko Pole i.e. agricultural micro locality near to the urban centre, where anthropogenic contamination of the soil with arsenic was evident. The ICP-AES analyzis have been applied for determination of the content of arsenic in various horizons of soil, up to 1 meter depth. The content of arsenic in various minerals in the soil as well as quantity of water soluble arsenic have also been determined. The basic aim was to define mechanisms and intensity of migration of arsenic in the soil. The type of soil from the micro locality which is dominantly consisted of coarse grained quartz and fine grained clay along the whole profile, and its physical and chemical properties, enable intensive and free migration of micro elements in soluble and fixed form.

Клучни зборови: арсен; почва; ремедијација; афинитет AIMS AND BACKGROUND According to previously explicitly confirmed contamination of the soil from the micro locality E-NE-SE around the OHIS factory [1][2][3], an attempt has been made in order to define possibilities of its remediation. Primarily, before initiating the process of remediation, it is necessary to define the soil parameters: the degree of contamination of the soil, identification of the pollutants, their horizontal and vertical distribution through the soil profile, the form in which they exist, their stability and solubility as well as their mobility. ...
In the soil from the micro locality E-NE-SE around the OHIS factory, an increased degree of contamination with arsenic of anthropogenic origin has been detected. The objective of this research is an integral perception of the soil state with this pollutant, aiming to determine options for remediation of the contaminated soil. The basic parameters are being monitored for the extracted quantities of arsenic from various plant species that exist at the micro locality, in correlation with soil composition in the medium of the root system and the external factors. Intention is to define the affinity of the existing plants for available forms of arsenic. Two natural inorganic raw materials have been appointed as potential materials for remediation of contaminated soil with arsenic from the micro locality: diatomaceous earth from the locality of Slaviško Pole and trepel from the locality of Suvodol. Applying the extractors, their appropriate selective affinity and capacity for arsenic and other micro elements is evident.
