Abstract

Governmental regulations require municipalities to investigate soil and groundwater quality of areas planned for subsidized housebuilding. From 15 municipalities 1152 soil and 825 groundwater data were collected to calculate background concentrations. These data concern As, Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni, Zn, Hg, Cd, CN, PAK, EOX, Toluene, Benzene, Ethylbenzene and Xylene.
