Original Abstract
This study investigates the status of heavy metals contaminations in urban soils of Ostrava in the Czech Republic. The main aim of this study was determination of concentration of Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu, Mn, V and Hg, assessment of contamination levels of metals in urban soils and verification of potential source of metals contamination. The results obtained from assessment of metals pollution by means of index of geoaccumulation (Igeo), enrichment factor (EF), contamination factor (CF), pollution load index (PLI), pollution index (PI) and integrated pollution index (IPI) were used. Statistical method (Principal Component Analysis) was apllied for identification of contamination sources.
