Metals such as Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn were analyzed in pseudo-total and mobile form and the results were correlated with the content found in the vegetation collected from the same points during a previous study. The research shows a high mobility for Ni, Pb and Zn, respectively, a moderate mobility for Cd.en-USBioavailability indexMetalsMining sitePollution indexesSoilEvaluation of the bioavailability and pollution indexes of some toxic metals in polluted soils from an abandoned mining areaArticle10.37358/RC.18.11.6722000451931500061
