Transfer Capacity of Some Pollutants - Heavy Metals from Soil to Prunus sp.
2025
Claudiu-Denis FILIP | Mirela Ana COMAN
The aim of the present paper is to know the current level of heavy metal contamination, in particular Pb and Cd, in soil and fruit (Prunus sp.) in the area of the glacis and contact piedmont of the Baia Mare Depression. The final aim is to determine the most effective measures to rebalance the affected croplands. The area of interest is an area of approx. 588.8 km2 of the area presented above and, for comparison, a "clean area" in the Maramureș Depression, i.e., the Sighetu-Marmației area. From these perimeters both soil samples from different depths and Prunus fruit samples (ripe, healthy plums from different farms) were taken. Based on the obtained results we are entitled to state that an integrated soil-crop-plant analysis is required. With this paper we emphasize the importance of compliance with food safety standards at international and national level through Codex Alimentarius and Order 975/1998.
