Abstract
The fate of pesticides and heavy metals in plant-soil-ground water system depends on numerous physical, chemical and biotic factors. These factors, combined with different climatic regimes (temperature, precipitation), lead to differing rates of pesticide and heavy metal accumulation in soils and plants and variation in pesticide mobility, leaching, volatilisation and degradation.
This topics are examined at different levels:
- monitoring of heavy metals and pesticides soil pollution in Slovenia,
- investigating the influence of different soil conditions on heavy metals contents in plants using chemometric methods,
- investigating the influence of different soil conditions on the uptake, translocation and acumulation of Cd in plants and on the formation of phytochelatins,
- investigating the fate of herbicides (atrazine, isoproturone) under different environmental conditions in soil columns.
