Abstract

The present paper deals with the efforts made in Switzerland to treat the qualitative soil protection (monitoring and assessment of soil pollution mainly by heavy metals) on a scientific and legislative basis. In addition to a critical appreciation of guide levels for pollutants in soil, indications on important gaps in research are given (e.g. risk assessment in soils with exceeded guide levels or organic micropollutants).
