Hygienic quality of soil in the Gemer region (Slovakia) and the impact of risk elements contamination on cultivated agricultural products

Abstract The Gemer region (Slovakia) belongs to areas with a high concentration of risk elements. The contents of Cu, Ni, Pb, Cd, Hg and Mn were determined in soils and cultivated agricultural production from lands in three cadastres of the Gemer region (Henckovce (48.713845, 20.426189) and Nižná Sl...
