The master's thesis deals with possibilities of remediation of contaminated soils with heavy metals, especially zinc, cadmium and lead on contaminated public green spaces in Celje. Polluted soils have a significant impact on the quality of the area, reducing plant diversity and adversely affecting the state of the environment and the health of people and animals. There are several methods for removing heavy metals from the ground; these include physico-chemical processes, thermic processes and biological processes. Among the more environmentally friendly, cheaper and visually more attractive measures is phytoremediation; this is a method that uses plants that accumulate contaminants from the soil to clean the soil. By using phytoremediational measures, we can improve quality of the soil and public green spaces, thus contributing to a better status of the urban environment and health of the population. In the master's theses are proposed plants that can be used for cleaning contaminated public green areas in Celje. It also proposes guidelines for the use of a soil substitution measure and phytoremediational measures for the cleaning of contaminated soil, which can be used by the responsible spatial planning services in Celje and elsewhere.
