J. Elementol. 009, 14(3): 457 466 457 EVALUATION OF IMPACT OF FERTILIZATION WITH MANURE, MUNICIPAL SEWAGE SLUDGE AND COMPOST PREPARED FROM SEWAGE SLUDGE ON CONTENT OF,,, AND, Cd IN LIGHT SOIL Anna I ewska, Edward Krzywy, Czes³aw Wo³oszyk Chair of Environmental Chemistry Western Pomeranian University of Technology Abstract The aim of the research was to estimate the impact of fertilizing with manure, sewage sludge and compost prepared from sewage sludge on the content of total and soluble forms of,, as well as and Cd in light soil. A pot experiment was set up with the split plot method in 006. The first objects were types of fertilizers: manure, municipal sewage sludge, compost prepared from sewage sludge. The second consisted of doses of manure and organic fertilizers incorporated into the soil, expressed as amounts of nitrogen (0.6 and 0.5 g N per pot). In the second year mineral fertilizing was applied in a dose of 0.30 g N pot -1 and 0.7 g K pot -1. Soil used in the experiment was taken from Ap level and had grain size distribution of light loamy sand. The soil was acidic (ph in 1 mol KCl dm -3 5.13) and moderately abundant in available phosphorus, potassium and magnesium. The content of microelements in soil before the experiment was below the permissible concentrations given in the Ordinance of the Minister of Environment of 9.09.00 on quality standards of soils and ground (Journal of Law, 00, no. 165 item 1359). As regards the contamination of soil with,,,,, the content of these heavy metals, according to IUNG classification, was 0, which stands for natural content, although the content of Cd was raised up to I o. It has been found out that fertilizing with manure, sewage sludge and compost prepared from sewage sludge increased, in direct and successive effect, the content of total and soluble in 1 mol HCl dm -3 forms of microelements. In the case of soil fertilized with organic fertilizers, first degree contamination with cadmium and nickel occurred (exceeding na- dr in.

INTRODUCTION Agricultural use of sewage sludge and composts prepared from sewage sludge, in accord with all binding laws connected with environmental pro-
tection, is one of the methods of recycling. Rational fertilizing with waste and composts increases organic substance in light soil as well as the content of macro- and microelements. Every batch of sewage sludge intended to be used in agriculture must fulfill qualitative standards such as the maximum permissible amounts of trace elements Cd,,,,, Hg, Cr and counts of live intestinal parasite eggs and Salmonella bacteria (Rozporz¹dzenie Ministra Œrodowiska w sprawie komunalnych osadów œciekowych DzU z 00 r. nr 134 poz. 1140). The aim of the research was to estimate the impact of fertilizing with manure, sewage sludge and sewage sludge compost on the content of total and soluble forms in 1 mol HCl dm -3 of,,, and Cd in light soil. 459 MATERIAL AND METHODS In 006, a pot experiment was set up with the split plot method in a greenhouse at the University of Agriculture in Szczecin. The capacity of the pots was 9 dm 3 of soil. The first objects were types of fertilizers: manure, municipal sewage sludge and compost prepared from sewage sludge. The second objects were doses of manure and organic fertilizers incorporated into the soil expressed as amounts of nitrogen (0.6 and 0.5 g N per pot). The objects fertilized exclusively with NPK received 0.18 g of nitrogen (the first dose) and 0.36 g of nitrogen per pot (the second dose). All of the fertilized objects received 0.1 g P and 0.6 g K per pot. In the second year, mineral fertilization consisted of 0.30 g N pot -1, 0.4 g P pot -1 and 0.7 g K pot -1. The soil reaction was was acid (ph in 1 mol KCl dm -3 5.13) and the content of available phosphorus, potassium and magnesium in soil was average. Table 1 shows the content of microelements as well as and Cd in the soil before the experiment was set up. The test plant in the first year of the experiment was spring rape and in the second one spring triticale. The content of microelements in soil before setting up the experiment was below the value of permissible concentration given in the Ordinance of the Minister of Environment of 9.09.00 on quality standards of soils and ground (Journal of Law, 00, no. 165 item 1359) As regards the contamination of the soil with,,,,, the content of these metals, according to the IUNG classification, was 0, which stands for natural content, although the content of Cd was raised up to I o.
460 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The content of microelements as well as and Cd in soil after the harvest of spring rape increased on the objects fertilized with manure and organic fertilizers, in comparison with the initial values (Tables 1 and ). In soil of the objects with organic and mineral fertilizers applied, in comparison with the control, manganese rose by 19.40%, zinc by 15.70%, copper by 3.89%, nickel by 9.7%, lead by 41.91% and cadmium by 76.75%. As a result of fertilization with sewage sludge, the content of manganese, lead and cadmium increased most profoundly, whereas the application of manure increased the content of zinc and copper (Table ). Content of some microelements in soil before the experiment T otal content (mg kg - 1 d.m. ) 5.1 6. 1 6.30 8.5 19. 8 0.4 S oluble forms (mg kg - 1 d.m. ) 68. 4.15 1.9.30 8.75 0.1 Table 1 Cd In the second year of the experiment, the total content of microelements as well as and Cd in soil after the harvest of spring triticale was likewise higher than the initial values (Table 3). In the successive impact, the highest mean content of manganese, lead and cadmium was in soil fertilized with sewage sludge, while that of copper and nickel was the highest after the application of compost. Having analyzed the content of soluble forms in 1 mol HCl dm -3 in soil after the harvest of spring rape, it was stated that, soil fertilized with sewage sludge compost contained the lowest content of soluble forms of manganese (65.9 mg kg -1 ), zinc (4.76 mg kg -1 ) and copper (.8 mg kg -1 ). Fertilizing with manure, however, enhanced solubility in 1 mol HCl dm -3 of manganese (66.4 mg kg -1 ) and zinc (8.38 mg kg -1 ), copper (5.18 mg kg -1 ) and cadmium (0.16 mg kg -1, Table 4). The data presented in Table 5 show that the experimental s, i.e. the type of fertilizers (manure, sewage sludge and compost prepared from sewage sludge) and their doses, had no influence on shaping the content of forms soluble in 1 mol HCl dm -3 of manganese, zinc, copper, nickel and cadmium in soil after the harvest of spring triticale. The content of lead in soil fertilized with manure was statistically significantly higher in comparison with its content in soil taken from the other fertilizing objects.

On the basis of the mean share of forms soluble in 1 mol HCl dm -3 in the total content, it was stated that in the two-year period availability of manganese, zinc, lead and cadmium increased and that of copper and nickel decreased (Table 6). Increase in the total and soluble forms of manganese, zinc, copper and nickel in soil was reported by I EWSKA et al. (006), who tested sewage sludge and composts. JAKUBUS (006) and JAMALI et al. (008) also demonstrated increase in the total content of manganese, zinc, copper in soil after application of sewage sludge. However, CZY YK, KOZDRAŒ (004) confirmed loss of soluble nickel in soil after application of composts prepared from sewage sludge. The content of microelements as well as and Cd in soil after two years of the experiment testing application of manure, sewage sludge, compost prepared from sewage sludge and NPK did not exceed the values of permissible concentrations given in the Ordinance of the Minister of Environment of 9.09.00 on quality standards of soil and quality standards of ground (Journal of Law, 00, no. 165 item 1359). 465 CONCLUSIONS 1. After fertilization with manure, sewage sludge and compost prepared from sewage sludge, the content of total content and forms soluble in 1 mol dm -3 HCl of microelements as well as and Cd under direct and successive impact increased in comparison with the initial content.. Fertilizing with organic fertilizers caused first degree contamination of soil with nickel and cadmium (exceeding their natural content in soil). 3. On the basis of the mean share of forms soluble in 1 mol HCl dm -3 in the total content in soils taken from objects fertilized with organic fertilizers, the elements could be ranked as follows: > > > Cd > > in the first year and Cd > > > > > in the second year of the research..
