Hi everyone.
I'm searching for a paper or a technical report, that explain main sources of Potentially Harmful Elements (previously known as Heavy metals) in soils of the European Union. For example.. xx% of industrial source, xx% waste disposal, xx% urban soils, xx% mining operations and xx% shooting and Military activites...
I think there was a report of the European Union with % of sources and a map, although I only have reports of general contamination and includes organic pollutants...
Main interest for me is Lead, although other metals or total metals... would be appreciated.
Thank you.
I have several of these links
althought I used them for other purposes so Im not sure if you checked them out or if you can get some information useful for you

Hello Andres,
Check out this EU report, I think it contains what you are looking for and it is quite recent (2014)
