Heavy metal contamination in soil is classified into two categories; one is natural enrichment of heavy metals in soil from high background source rocks, and the other is anthropogenic contamination from non-point and point sources. Some potentially toxic elements are highly enriched in areas covered with black shale. The level and dispersion patterns of Se and U in soil underlain by black shale were discussed in regional and local scales. Heavy metals contamination in the areas of abandoned base metal mines was investigated. The concept of pollution index (PI) of soils gives important information on the extent and degree of multi-element contamination and can be applied to the evaluation of soils before their agricultural use and remediation. Pollution level of Pt in dusts and soils from various traffic volume urban roads in and around Seoul, capital city of Korea, waspresented. Environmental geochemical surveys were undertaken around some abandoned metal mine sites to investigate the bioavailability of As and heavy metals by the SBET (simple bioavailability extraction test) method and to assess the risk of adverse health effects on human exposure to heavy metals influenced by previous mining activities. One case history on biosorption of cation heavy metals to microbial cells is introduced to present its potential for the bioremediation of contaminated field site.

Aqueous effluents entering surface and groundwater systems 2. Contaminated dust entering surface water bodies 3. Contaminated surface and groundwater used for irrigation and drinking 4. Disposal of contaminated articulate matter onto agricultural soils 5. Soil ingestion (through bad hygiene) 6. Plant uptake from soils 7.
