abstract: The effect of soil acidity, organic matter, ortho-phosphate and clay content on sorption of lead and cadmium was studied for Haplic Phaeozem and Leptic Podzol. Adsorption isotherms of lead exhibited relatively low differences between the soils whereas higher differences were noted for cadmium, especially at high concentrations. Stronger immobilization of both heavy metals occurred in Haplic Phaeozem.
