| Abstract | BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. The use of fertilizers and soil amendments has raised concern regarding the toxic accumulation of their trace components in the environment. The objective of this research was to evaluate the trace element and heavy metal composition of a wide variety of fertilizers and soil amendments. Thirty-five elements, including priority pollutants, were determined in 24 materials. A microwave HNO3-HF-H2O2-H3BO3 digestion procedure was used to dissolve the samples. Selected solid samples were directly analyzed by neutron activation analysis, while atomic absorption and inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometric determinations were carried out on the digests. The trace element and heavy metal concentrations generally decreased in the following sample order: rock phosphate > sewage sludge > phosphorus fertilizer > organic amendments and liming materials > K fertilizers the sewage sludge |
