Translocation of heavy metals and methods of their detoxification in podzolized chernozem

Abstract

At present, the fact that all unforeseen negative consequences of anthropogenic human activity significantly affect the biochemical regime of the natural environment is obvious. Therefore, agriculture should be aimed at reducing the release of chemicals from the biological cycle. Field observations were conducted to study the effect of detoxification techniques on the accumulation of heavy metals in soil. Six experiment variants were developed, using detoxicants with various combinations of them. The results of this research indicate that the organic matter of manure binds soluble metal salts into organometallic complexes, and fertilizer phosphates convert them into sparingly soluble compounds. Thus, they improve (heal) the soil contaminated by heavy metals.
