Popis: One of the most important soil contaminants are heavy metals. Chemical analysis of the samples can be used to evaluate the contamination but these methods are expensive and time consuming. Thus, for rapid evaluation, other techniques such as magnetic susceptibility are considered. The aim of this study was to compare the spatial distribution of magnetic susceptibilityand cadmium, lead, nickel and copper in soil series of Isfahan, Khomeinishahr and Zayanderood in Lenjan at region, Isfahan province. Estimation of heavy metals via pedotransfer functions using magnetic susceptibility was also investigated. Total concentration of Cd, Pb, Ni and Cu in soil samples was determines and the magnetic susceptibility of the samples was also measured. Results showed magnetic susceptibility does not have high accuracy for estimation of heavy metals contents in the soils of this region. On the other hand, similar trends of continuous maps for heavy metals and magnetic susceptibility suggest that magnetic susceptibility can be a good indicator for trend of soil contamination in this area.
