EN

Metale ciężkie, w tym także cynk, gdy dostaną się do gleby w nadmiernych ilościach, stanowią dość trwałe zanieczyszczenie, w przeciwieństwie do różnego rodzaju zanieczyszczeń organicznych, podatnych w większym lub mniejszym stopniu na degradację mikrobiologiczną. Mimo iż akumulacja metali ciężkich przez drobnoustroje jest procesem powszechnym, to nie do końca poznanym. Granice tolerancji nie są jednakowe i zależą od ich bioróżnorodności i czasu trwania imisji, a także właściwości fizykochemicznych gleby, jej struktury, zawartości materii organicznej, pH i pojemności kompleksu sorpcyjnego. Coraz częściej do oceny stanu zanieczyszczenia gleby wykorzystuje się metody biologiczne, w tym aktywność enzymów glebowych, i w nich należy upatrywać szybkiej diagnozy jakości gleb. Wskaźniki te mogą być jednak wykorzystywane tylko do oceny gleb zanieczyszczonych metalami ciężkimi, a są mało przydatne w ocenie jakości gleb zanieczyszczonych związkami organicznymi.

PL

Heavy metals, e.g. zinc, present in soil in excessive quantities become quite persistent contaminants. Thus, they differ from organic pollutants, which can be degraded, to a various degree, by microorganisms. Although the accumulation of heavy metals by microorganisms is widespread, this phenomenon has not been thoroughly investigated. Tolerance limits are not uniform and depend on the biodiversity and duration of ambient concentration, as well as on the physicochemical properties of soil, soil structure, organic matter content, pH and sorptive complex capacity. Soil contamination is more and more frequently assessed with biological methods, by testing for example the activity of soil enzymes. Such assays, however, can be used to evaluate the quality of soils contaminated with heavy metals, but are less useful for testing soils polluted with organic compounds.
