Globally there are over 20 million ha of land contaminated by the heavy metal (loid) s As,
Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb, Co, Cu, Ni, Zn, and Se, with the present soil concentrations higher than the …

Diagnosis of the risk of soil pollution and the performance of measures for the recovery of
contaminated soil requires proper monitoring of the extent of soil function damage and its …

Chemical stabilization is an in situ remediation method that uses inexpensive amendments
to reduce contaminant availability in polluted soil. We tested the effects of several …

Both soil erosion and soil contamination pose critical environmental threats to the Chinese
Loess Plateau (CLP). Green, efficient and feasible remediation technologies are highly …

Soil pollution with heavy metals is a worldwide environmental problem. Phytoremediation
through phytoextraction and phytostabilization appears to be a promising technology for the …

The aim of this study was to assess heavy metals mobility and toxicity in sediments collected
from a dam reservoir in the conditions of intensive human impact by using chemical …

Over the last decade, the number of decentralized farm biogas plants has increased
significantly in the EU. This development leads not only to an increasing amount of biogas …

This work deals with bioaccumulation of Zn, Pb, Cu and Cd in foliage of Scots pine, grown
on mine soils. Regression models were used to describe relationships between pine …

The usefulness of limestone, red mud, and furnace slag on the in situ stabilization of arsenic
(As) and heavy metals was evaluated relative to different endpoints (microorganisms, plants …

Despite being drastically restricted in the 1970s, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) still
belong among the most hazardous contaminants. The chemical stability and dielectric …
