Article Synopsis
- Heavy metals tend to accumulate primarily in the surface layers of soils, especially in areas impacted by human activities and natural processes.
- The study evaluated heavy metal pollution in Roztocze National Park by calculating multiple pollution indices, including the Enrichment Factor, Geoaccumulation Index, Nemerow Pollution Index, and Potential Ecological Risk.
- Significant increases in lead, zinc, copper, and manganese levels were found in the surface soil compared to the parent material, indicating the effects of anthropogenic pollution alongside soil characteristics like pH and organic matter content.
