HEAVY METAL POLLUTION OF SOILS AND FOOD CROPS DUE TO MINING WASTES IN AN IRRIGATION DISTRICT SOUTH OF TBILISI, EASTERN GEORGIA

P. Felix-Henningsen*, Ò.F.Urushadze**, E.I. Narimanidze***, L. Wichmann***, D. Steffens**** , B.B. Kalandadze*****

Abstract

The fertile irrigated soils of the Mashavera valley, Georgia, have a high agricultural yield potential. The river water used for irrigation, however, is polluted with mining waste from a copper and gold mine situated in the mountainous region of the middle reaches of the Mashavera river. Furthermore waste water from a floatation plant, erosion material from floatation waste deposits, and acid mine drainage leads to high concentrations of dissolved and suspended sulphidic heavy metals. The Cu, Zn and Cd concentrations of mud from irrigation channels and the Mashavera river are extremely high. It is estimated that the annual transfer of heavy metals (HM) by irrigation water is in the range of several g*ha-1 for Cd and several kg*ha-1 for Cu and Zn. Accordingly, most of the irrigated soils under different agricultural land uses display a strong enrichment of HM that can be traced back to irrigation with polluted water over a period of several decades. The concentrations of total amounts of Cu, Zn and Cd are closely and significantly inter-correlated due to the same river source. They increase with intensity of land use and amount of irrigation in the sequence arable fields, occasionally submerged meadows, vegetable gardens, wine gardens, and orchards with mixed cropping of vegetables. A high proportion of HM belongs to the supply fraction, unspecific ally and specifically adsorbed HM dissolvable in ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). The narrow correlation of this fraction with the mobile and plant available fraction of HM indicates a high long-term risk potential within the food chain. Due to the recent high adsorption capacity of the soils for HM, only a small amount of HM in the mobile fraction was found with proportions of less than 1 % of the total amounts for Cu and Zn, and a maximum of 1.5 % for Cd. On the other hand, initial investigations of cereals and vegetable species indicate a high uptake of Cu, Zn and Cd, which for Cu and Cd causes concentrations in plants exceeding the safety thresholds for plants, animals and human beings. Therefore it is questionable if the NH4NO3 extraction is sufficient to indicate the plant available HM fraction in alkaline soils. The variability of the HM concentrations in irrigated soils is by far wider than in non-irrigated topsoils, especially towards higher concentrations. Differences in the duration, frequency and amounts of irrigation as well as changes in the type of land use and soil cultivation (e.g. depth of plowing) are the reasons for this high spatial variability. This shows that the degree of soil pollution by HM in the Mashavera valley cannot be estimated but must be investigated for each field in order to evaluate the potential hazard for the food chain and the residents. At most sites the concentrations exceed the precaution and threshold values defined in the Federal Soil Protection and Contaminated Sites Ordinance [1] or as target values in the "Dutch List". According to the German Federal Soil Protection Act [2], the upper deviation of action values should require restrictions in land use or other measures to prevent the transfer of HM into the food chain. While the action values on single arable fields are exceeded, the threshold value of the Cu concentration with respect to sheep grazing is exceeded by 60 % in the investigated meadows of the Mashavera floodplain. The HM pollution of home gardens, grape fields, wine gardens and other orchards has become very critical due to the high amount and frequency of irrigation. Many of the vegetables accumulate HM in vegetation parts used as food. In 40 % of the investigated house gardens and 82 % of the wine gardens with mixed cropping of vegetables, the action value for Cd is exceeded. Contamination of the river water by mining waste and acid mining drainage is continuing Political and economical solutions to stabilize the mine deposits and waste water cleaning of the floatation plant are absent. Due to the serious contamination and the impossibility to clean the soils, immediate measures should be initiated in order to protect the population.

INFLUENCE OF THE SYSTEM OF KEEPING BROILER ON THE CHEMICAL AND MICROBIOLOGYCAL INDEXES OF FRESH AND FROZEN MET

N.T.Mamukelashvili, R.E.Nozadze

Abstract


Raw, eviscerated poultry is a perishable commodity that readily supports the growth of micro-organisms when stored under chill conditions. Its self-life depends on the combined effects of several factors, especially storage temperature, the numbers and types of cold-tolerant spoilage bacteria present initially. These bacteria are primarily responsible for chemical changes in the muscle that lead to off-odors and ultimately slime formation. Meat of broiler, received from chickens, kept in cage batteries worse be kept little with meat from chickens on deep litter. Research has shown that freezing insignificantly influences chemical composition of poultry meat. Bi sensory indices advantage have poultry meat rear on deep litter. It has been studied Contamination with micro-organisms of raw and frozen poultry, rear on deep litter and in cage batteries has been studied. Attached to frozen meat quantity microbe diminish by 24%. Bacteriological and bacterioscopical research establish, that it is better preserved carcass of Broiler rear on deep litter.

AGRARIAN POLICY ON AGRICULTURE INTENSIFICATION AND SETTLING MAIN FOOD ISSUES IN REPUBLIC ARMENIA

K.A. Grigoryan

Abstract

The historical time period is decisive for the Armenians. The drastic reconstruction of economic relations of the former administrative- governing economic system is to prove its advantages. However, today, huge industrial capacities of former net farms, having got semi manufacture status, represent no national value. The cosmopolitan status of the country is not favorable, the unemployment and migration are great, and the expectation of privatization has remained unjustified. The industrial country has turned into agrarian, food situation has sharpened. Today, huge resource losses, unproductive substructures, imperfect assisting system to farmers and lack of resources, insecure and poor current capital, low profitableness of production are the main obstacles in agrarian improvement. The only guarantee to obtain food self-sufficiency in a land-starved and scarce in water country with vulnerable ecosystem is a consistent and many-sided intensification of agriculture. For the future intensification of agriculture there have been suggested the following effective mechanisms which will aim at tempering fiscal policy, supporting farm land productive system formation, mobilizing rural farm numerous scattered resources, as well as creating the international contribution field for economic stabilization with the adequate profit-promising suggestions.
