Solid-solution partitioning of metals in contaminated soils: dependence on pH, total metal burden, and organic matter

Article Abstract:

Researchers from Quebec, Canada and Newark, Delaware presented a semi-mechanistic model to predict dissolved metal concentrations to evaluate their environmental and health risks in contaminated soils.

Reactive uptake of trace metals in the hyporheic zone of a mining-contaminated stream, Pinal Creek, Arizona

Article Abstract:

Researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey used a conservative solute tracer to test for the uptake of dissolved metals during the interaction of groundwater and surface water in Pinal Creek, AZ.

Predicting devalent metal sorption to hydrous Al, Fe, and Mn oxides

Article Abstract:

This study examines the mobility and bioavailability of toxic metals, which are anthropogenically released, in sediments and soils. The interaction with mineral surfaces, namely hydrous oxides of aluminum, are also discussed.
