12 Groundwater monitoring of the Lithuanian Polish cross-border area started in 1994 as a part of the joint program Belt of Yotvings as a fragment of Green Lungs ofeurope. ofeurope. Observations are carried out at 23 monitoring stations, including 29 observational wells. Chemical composition and quality are monitored in shallow, intertill, Palaeogene and Upper Cretaceous aquifers. A

13 Kontrolne badania geochemiczne gleb pogranicza polskolitewskiego Geochemical monitoring in the Polish-Lithuanian crossborder area repeatable geochemical investigation of soil in 30 sites (15 in Lithuania, 15 in Poland) used in geochemical mapping in (385 soil sampling sites) Aim to follow changes, the both natural and anthropogenic, after 10 years in soil chemical composition Start of project End Samples collected: topsoil (soil surface layer of 0-20cm) subsoil (soil parent material) Analytical methods: Analytical methods: ICP-AES in hot HCl+HNO 3 leach (2005) ICP-AES in HCl leach (1995)

Accumulative elements in topsoil: S, (airborne contamination) Pb, Zn (local contamination sources) and P (agriculture) II. III. Leachable elements for natural reasons: Ca, Mg, Sr and Ti Elements leached out of fine-grained texture natural soil but accumulated in anthropogenically impacted soil: Cr, Co, Cu, Fe, Ni, V (heavy metals related to clay minerals)

38 Article 30. Influence on the Environment of other States The utilisation of the underground and other economic activities carried out in the Republic of Lithuania cannot have a negative influence on the state of the environment and the underground of other States, and, therefor, cause damage to their population. Article 31. International Co-operation The Government of the Republic of Lithuania shall take care that the utilisation of the underground and other economic activities carried out in neighbouring States would not have a negative influence on the state of the environment of the Republic of Lithuania, valuable features and the resources of the underground, and would not cause damage to the population. It is the aim of international agreements on the regulation of economic activities and utilisation of the underground in border territories, exchange of data about the state of the underground, promotion of co-operation in the exploration of the underground, and by other means.
