Rv. Galiulin et al., EFFECT OF HEAVY-METALS ON SELF-PURIFICATION OF AGRICULTURAL SOILS CONTAINING PESTICIDE-RESIDUES, Eurasian soil science, 24(8), 1992, pp. 78-84
The concentrations of heavy metals Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and
Pb were determined in agricultural and background soils in an area of
irrigated agriculture in Azerbaijan. Correlations between the concent
rations of heavy metal and persistent organochlorine pesticides (benzi
ne hexachloride, DDT, and its metabolites DDE and DDD, and the DDE/DDT
ratio) were investigated.
