Road transport is one of the sources of groundwater pollution. The aim of the article is to find out whether the largest roads in Poland have a negative impact on groundwater quality and to assess the extent of their influence. The water chemistry in the area of roads with heavy traffic in north-west and central Poland in 2007-2020 was analyzed. The groundwater quality status and the dynamics of changes in concentrations of selected chemical constituents were assessed. Data was taken from the national chemical monitoring network managed by the Polish Geological Institute - National Research Institute. The results of monitoring tests at 42 selected points were subject to detailed statistical analysis. The mentioned points were located within 100 m from the roads. A statistical analysis of selected chemical parameters and a correlation matrix for selected components were performed. The distribution of electrolytic conductivity in the analyzed 42 points in 2019 is presented in the form of a contour map against the background of the main roads in the analyzed area. Based on archival data, a 7-year prediction of changes in concentrations of selected chemical components, using the autoregressive method, was made. The predicted distribution of concentrations of individual chemical components in groundwater indicates that the vicinity (up to 50 m) of roads may negatively affect the groundwater quality. The increased concentration of chloride and sodium ions was found in most sites. An upward trend was also observed for specific electrolytic conductivity. |
