TL;DR: The remediation of heavy metal(loid) contaminated soils through manipulating their bioavailability using a range of soil amendments will be presented.

TL;DR: An overview of data published during the last five years on the immobilization of one metalloid, As, and four heavy metals, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn, in soils, finds that Zn can be successfully immobilized in soil by phosphorus amendments and clays.

TL;DR: Low metal leaching during a two-year observation period, increased seed germination rate, reduced metal accumulation in plant shoots, and decreased toxicity to plants and bacteria are demonstrated, thereby demonstrating this stabilization method to be a promising technique for in situ remediation of Cu and Pb contaminated soil.

TL;DR: This study evaluated the efficiency of Fe(0) to reduce the mobility and bioavailability of Cr, Cu, As and Zn in a chromated copper arsenate-contaminated soil using chemical, biochemical and biotoxicity tests.

TL;DR: The natural and anthropogenic sources that have contributed to the increase of Hg concentration in soil are summarized and major remediation techniques and their applications to control soil Hg contamination are reviewed.
