A 10-Year Ecological Monitoring of Soils and Triticum aestivum in the Impact Zone of a Power Station

Based on 10 years of environmental monitoring located around the emission zone an electricity supplier, main regularities have been studied for content heavy metals (HMs), such as Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Ni, Mn, and Cr, 16 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soils agricultural landscapes their accumulation Triticum aestivum. It has shown that one most significant factors pollutants plants was prevailing wind direction territory atmospheric transfer dust particles enterprise with adsorbed pollutants. As soil increased, aestivum increased each season to a level exceeding maximum permissible concentrations (MPC), especially benzo[a]pyrene (BaP). The unambiguous influx from into roots further aboveground organs plant typical only BaP, other can be explained by foliar influx. established more tolerant respect pollution than PAHs.
