Cd and Zn in atmospheric deposit, soil, wheat, and milk

Data collected during 3 years indicated a direct influence of atmospheric deposits on heavy metal distribution in the chain soil-cattle feed-milk. Decreased Cd concentrations of 93% in atmospheric deposits in the Kikinda region resulted in decreased Cd concentrations of 17% in cattle feeds and 13% in milk. Decreased Zn concentrations of 58% in atmospheric deposits caused reduced Zn concentrations of 30% in soil, 17% in cattle feeds, and 17% in milk.
