abstract: CO2 and CH4 concentrations were measured in mineral-muck soil profile irrigated with 60 and 120 mm doses of municipal wastewater after purification. Rapid increase of CO2 and CH4 concentrations was observed after the irrigation. Maximum concentrations of CO2 and CH4 occurred on the second day after irrigation with one dose of municipal wastewater and they reached 5% and 347 mg kg-1, respectively. Further increase of CO2 and CH4 concentrations was observed after irrigation with increased amount of nutrients in double dose of wastewater with maximum equal to 5.1% and 3090 mg kg-1 recorded on the second and third day from irrigation.
