This area encompasses the valley of the middle-Bug river that is preserved as the Landscape Park. In this research an attempt was undertaken to assess the heavy metal pollution of the environment in the area of the Landscape Park named ,,The Podlasie Ravine of the Bug River". The level of heavy metals in falling dust, soil, and Dandelion (Taraxacum ojficinale Webb.) was being examined in the five localities, situated in the area of the Park. The research showed that none of the mean permissible standard values of the falling dust, Pb, and Cd were outreached; however, it was observed that the fall of Pb was locally higher in relation to the standard Pb fall values in Janów Podlaski. The concentration level of the elements in the soil equaled the ,,O" degree of heavy metal pollution of the soils. In the circumstances of the reaction soil about pH 6- 7 and low concentrations of the metals in the soil the Cd, Pb elements accumulate in Dandelion in trace quantities. The obtained results indicate that there is no threat whatsoever existing in the shape of the heavy metals in the area of the Landscape Park ,,The Podlasie Ravine of the Bug River".}, type={Artykuł}, title={The Assessment of Heavy Metal Pollution of the Environment in the Area of the Landscape Park "The Podlasie Ravine of the Bug River"}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/123972/PDF-MASTER/12_AE_VOL_27_1_2001_Krolak_Ocena.pdf}, keywords={heavy metals, falling dust, soil, Dandelion (Taraxacum ojficinale Webb.), LandscapePark ,,The Podlasie Ravine of the Bug River"}, }
