Smelting activities pose serious environmental problems due to the local and regional heavy
metal pollution in soils they cause. It is therefore important to understand the pollution …

Anthropologic activities have transformed global biogeochemical cycling of heavy metals by
emitting considerable quantities of these metals into the atmosphere from diverse sources …

Soil system properties control the fate of essential Zn and toxic Cd, which can have
pervasive influences on ecosystem health. However, direct evidence of the spatial …

Humic acids are a part of humus material, are abundant in nature, and form a substantial
pool of natural organic matter. They participate in the transport of both beneficial and harmful …

The old mining district of Linares (Southern Spain) was subject to intense Pb mining,
minerallurgical and metallurgical activities for centuries, causing significant contamination of …

Rice poses a major source of the toxic contaminant cadmium (Cd) for humans. Here, we
elucidated the role of Cd storage forms (ie, the chemical Cd speciation) on the dynamics of …

Представлены результаты многолетних исследований валового содержания металлов
(Cu, Zn, Fe, Ni, Pb, Mn, Co и Cd) и концентрации их подвижных форм в почвах фоновых …

Isotope source tracing enables to accurately determine the fate of nutrients that are applied
with fertilizers to soils. While this approach is well established for major nutrients such as …

Correct characterization of metal speciation and reactivity is a prerequisite for the risk
assessment and remedial activity management of contaminated soil. To better understand …

Accurate prediction of the environmental fate of Pb depends on the understanding of Pb
coordination to mineral surfaces. Here, the proton and Pb adsorption and speciation on …
