    Kugonič, Nives ; Pokorny, Boštjan ; Šešerko, Melita
    Soil pollution and accumulation of heavy metals in the most common vegetables were investigated in the Šalek Valley, where the largest Slovenian thermal power plant of Šoštanj (ŠTTP) is located. ... Methods were chosen according to international and Slovenian standards. Heavy metal content in solis and plant was determined by ICP-MS, ETAAS and hydride technique after appropriate digestion of samples. Results revealed that garden soils in the Šalek Valley are not polluted in general with heavy metals. On the contrary, some plant species exceeded permitted levels of Cd. Our results showed that the most sensitive group of plants are still affected, although emissions of heavy metals markedly decreased after the desulfurization device was built at the ŠTTP.
