Abstract
The important functions of the soil as a site for plant production and as a filter and screen for ground water are increasingly endangered by the introduction of foreign man-made substances. The particularly dangerous classes of substances are heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls and biocides. The article explains the most important physico-chemical properties of these classes of substances and discusses their distribution and reactivity in the soil using actual examples from the literature. The examples also include tropical sites, which illustrates the global dimensions of the problem.
