Abstract
Soil can be considered as a very important “ecological crossroad” in the landscape. From this point of view adequate attention has not been paid to it in our country during the last 40 years. Soil was mainly considered as a source for yields of agricultural crops and as a sink for placing different wastes. On the other hand, we meet many very biased assays of soil contamination, which do not reflect reality. The results of many research studies show that point contamination of our soils represents a bigger problem than diffuse contamination.
