However, as cadmium removal from the soil by leaching is also increasing with lower soil pH value, the net cadmium soil accumulation is lower in Sweden than in most parts of Europe at comparable cadmium concentration and fertiliser application rates.
Kuna kaadmiumi väljapesu mullast suureneb ka mulla madalama pH-taseme korral, siis väetiste sama kaadmiumisisalduse ja kasutamismäära puhul on Rootsis kaadmiumi akumuleerumine mullas väiksem, kui enamikus Euroopa piirkondades.
