Abstract

Elements in soil, plant, or air present in excess cause risk for plant growth, environment, or humans and can exhibit toxicological characteristics. These also include potentially toxic elements (PTEs), which can cause various health hazards. This study was performed in vineyard soil to assess pollution in the soil system by PTEs. Concentrations of 4 PTEs (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn) were determined in soil using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. Environmental implication assessment of soil did not show Cu and Zn´s pollution but show pollution by Cd and Pb. Cd concentrations in the soil above the limit value significantly influence the environmental increased risk. Monitoring of PTE concentrations in agricultural soil represents the first measure of caution related to food safety control. In contrast, the mobility of PTEs in the soil system should be a further step in understanding PTE transportations, and it could improve control production of fruits and wine.
