Journal ArticleDOI
Trace element chemistry in residual-treated soil: key concepts and metal bioavailability.
TL;DR: Research is needed to determine mechanisms for trace element retention of soil-residual systems, determine the effect of residuals on ecological receptors and the ability of residual’s to reduce ecotoxicity in metal-contaminated soil, and predict the long-term bioavailability of trace elements in soil- Residual Systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
An in vitro gastrointestinal method to estimate bioavailable arsenic in contaminated soils and solid media
TL;DR: In this paper, a method was developed to simulate the human gastrointestinal environment and to estimate bioavailability of arsenic in contaminated soil and solid media, where arsenic was sequentially extracted from contaminated soil with simulated gastric and intestinal solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The bioavailability of chemicals in soil for earthworms.
TL;DR: In order to be used in the site-specific ecological risk assessment of chemicals, effects concentrations must be developed from laboratory toxicity tests based on exposure estimates utilizing techniques that measure the bioavailable fraction of chemicals in soil, not total chemical concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of chemical immobilization treatments for reducing heavy metal transport in a smelter-contaminated soil.
Nicholas T. Basta,S.L. McGowen +1 more
TL;DR: Three chemical immobilization materials, agricultural limestone (AL), mineral rock phosphate (RP), and diammonium phosphate (DAP), were evaluated using solute transport experiments to determine their ability to reduce subsurface heavy metal transport in a smelter contaminated soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical Immobilization of Lead, Zinc, and Cadmium in Smelter-Contaminated Soils Using Biosolids and Rock Phosphate
TL;DR: Alkaline organic treatments can reduce human exposure to Cd and Pb by reducing Zn phytotoxicity and revegetation of contaminated sites and alkaline organic Treatments (LSB, NV) decreases Cd transmission through the food chain pathway, whereas rock phosphate decreases risk from exposure to Pb via the soil ingestion pathway.
