Modifying influence of a pesticide dump on plants and animals of wood, meadow, pond and lake ecosystems

The authors realized a Polish national project studying environmental contamination and influence of contamiants on plants and animals (wild mice and fish) around pesticide dump storing about 70 tonns of OCl wastes for over 30 years. The chemical analysis was not very useful because the dump was situated inside the sandy hill (bad sorption) but chnges in plant societies, in contaminats concentrations in animal tissues and, most of all, changes in pathomorphological pattern of animal cells were detected.
