The research aimed to use chemical, geochemical, and ecotoxicity indices to assess the heavy metals content in soils with different degrees of exposure to human pressure. The research was conducted in southern Poland, in the Malopolska (Little Poland) province. All metal contents exceeded geochemical background levels. The highest values of the I_geo index were found for cadmium and were 10.05 (grasslands), 9.31 (forest), and 5.54 (arable lands), indicating extreme soil pollution (class 6) with this metal. Mean integrated pollution index (IPI) values, depending on the kind of use, amounted to 3.4 for arable lands, 4.9 for forests, and 6.6 for grasslands. These values are indicative of a high level of soil pollution in arable lands and an extremely high level of soil pollution in grasslands and forests. Depending on the type of soil use, Vibrio fischeri luminescence inhibition was from -33 to 59% (arable lands), from -48 to 78% (grasslands), and from 0 to 88% (forest). Significantly the highest toxicity was found in soils collected from forest grounds.

Celem badań było wykorzystanie wskaźników chemicznych, geochemicznych i ekotoksycznych w ocenie zawartości metali ciężkich w glebach o zróżnicowanym stopniu narażenia na antropopresję. Badania prowadzono na terenie Polski Południowej w województwie Małopolskim. Punkty poboru prób wyznaczono metodą równych kwadratów o boku kwadratu równym 7,5 km przy wykorzystaniu urządzenia GPS (Garmin 62s, dokładność +/- 2 m). Łącznie wyznaczono 76 punktów w których pobrano próby glebowe z poziomu 0-10 cm. Średnia zawartość poszczególnych metali ciężkich w glebach gruntów ornych (GO) wyniosła w kolejności malejącej: 107,52 mg Zn; 44,47 mg Ni; 23,23 mg Pb; 12,30 mg Cu; 1,21 mg Cd . kg^-1 s.m. Na użytkach zielonych (UZ) średnia zawartość metali tworzyła szereg malejący (mg . kg^-1 s.m): Zn (428,04) > Pb (76,35) > Ni (20,93 mg) > Cu (19,60) > Cd (2,38). W glebach leśnych (L) przeciętna zawartość cynku wyniosła 149,33 mg, ołowiu 97,76 mg, miedzi 13,32 mg, niklu 13,03 mg oraz kadmu 2,18 mg ∙ kg^-1 s.m. Spośród badanych metali największe wartości wskaźnika Igeo wykazano dla kadmu: 10,05 (UZ); 9,31 (L); 5,54 (GO), co świadczy o ekstremalnym zanieczyszczeniu (klasa 6) gleb tym pierwiastkiem, niezależnie od rodzaju użytkowania terenu. Średnie wartości zintegrowanego współczynnika zanieczyszczenia wyniosły: 2,8 (GO); 5,3 (L) oraz 6,4 (UZ). Wartości te świadczą o wysokim stopniu zanieczyszczenia gleb na gruntach ornych oraz ekstremalnie wysokim na użytkach zielonych i lasach. Inhibicja luminescencji Vibrio fischeri w zależności od sposobu użytkowania gleb wyniosła od -33 do 59% (GO), od -48 do 78% (UZ) oraz od 0 do 88% (L). Istotnie największą toksycznością charakteryzowały się gleby pobrane z użytków leśnych.
