The Influence of Different Soil Conditions to the Lead Bioavailability to Plants
This work is aimed to present the forms of lead in soil taking in the account its' acid and basic conditions. Different forms of heavy metals in soil could have a negative impact on plants and human beings, particularly if they present in higher concentrations than maximum allowed. Various soil conditions cause the different bioavailability of some forms of heavy metals to plants. This paper considers the bioavailability of lead to some plants in acid and basic soil conditions using computer software and comparing results to those obtained by experiment in the laboratory. Obtained results in this work could be used to predict the behavior of heavy metals in different soil conditions, particularly those that are present in very small concentrations, such as lead, cadmium, etc.
