Investigations were carried out on five waste disposal sites situated in the south-eastern outskirts or the city of Lublin. The samples of soils collected from the adjacent arabic land were used as reference material. In soils of four landfills, which were established relatively recently (lour to five years ago); several times higher activity of the examined enzymes (dehydrogcnascs, acid phosphatase, basic phosphatase, urcasc, protease) than in the soils from the adjacent cultivated land was determined. Opposite ti-ends were found in the case ofa waste dump established 20 years ago. The determined lack ofnegative influence or the examined waste dumps on the soil chemical and biochemical properties of the adjacent arabic land shows that the range or the contamination effect on the surrounding area was limited.}, type={Article}, title={Impact of Uncontrolled Waste Dumping on Soil Chemical and Biochemical Properties}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/122966/PDF/11_AE_VOL_35_3_2009_Bielinska_Impact.pdf}, keywords={soil, chemical properties, enzymatic activity, uncontrolled waste dumping}, }
