Geochemical fractionation and environmental risk assessment of potentially toxic elements (Cu, Zn, Pb, Ni, Cr, Ba, Mn) in Tokaj vineyard soils, Hungary
up to 3.17 (sediment)-3.34 (topsoil) for Cu in Tállya), with sediments showing Cu enrichment compared to topsoil in Tokaj. Copper emerged as the dominant concern, reaching medium risk levels (RAC ≥ 10%) at both sites due to substantial proportions detected in the acid-soluble fraction. This study highlights two critical management priorities for winegrowers: monitoring mobile PTE fractions and preventing contaminated sediment transport to adjacent surface waters.
