Description
The Copșa Mică area in Romania is heavily affected by contamination with heavy metals, particularly lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and zinc (Zn), due to intense industrialization. This study investigates the impact of this pollution on soil and the mobility of heavy metals. The results highlight significant contamination, surpassing permissible limits, affecting soil fertility and plant development. Additionally, the potential of red mud for remediating contaminated soil is explored. The conclusions emphasize the need for urgent remediation strategies to protect the environment and the health of local residents.
