CHANGES OF DEHYDROGENASE INHIBITION IN SOIL INDUCED BY VARIOUS CONCENTRATIONS OF SELECTED HEAVY METAL SALTS

Janina Nowak, Bożena Śnieg

 

ABSTRACT



The influence of various concentrations of salts of lead (II), copper (II), manganese (II), cobalt (II), molybdenum (IV) and iron (III) upon the soil dehydrogenase has been studied. Ecological areas featuring the contamination degree to which the studied soil environment had been exposed have been determined. Particular attention has been paid to high heavy metal doses causing significant disturbance to soil metabolism.

Key words: heavy metals, soil dehydrogenase.
