This review summarizes over 160 studies focused on soil contamination near non-ferrous
metal smelters. The methods of these investigations were examined with an emphasis on …

Lead (Pb) isotopic analyses proved to be a very efficient tool for tracing the sources of local
and global Pb pollution. This review presents an overview of literature published on the use …

The aim of the study was to assess the content, distribution, soil binding capacity, and
ecological risk of cadmium and lead in the soils of Malopolska (South Poland). The …

Abstract Metal and metalloid (As, Cd, Co, Cu, Pb and Zn) distribution in soils from the
Katanga Copperbelt (Democratic Republic of Congo) is investigated in order to characterize …

The active Panasqueira mine is a tin–tungsten (Sn–W) mineralization hosted by
metasediments with quartz veins rich in ferberite. The economic exploitation has been …

Sequential extraction procedure was applied to assess the dynamics of solid-phase
transformation of added Cu, Pb, Cd, and Hg in a typical Chinese paddy soil incubated under …

Soil mineral phases play a significant role in controlling heavy metal mobility in soils. The
effective study of their relation needs the integrated use of several analytical methods. In this …

Chelant-enhanced phytoextraction of heavy metals is an emerging technological approach
for a non-destructive remediation of contaminated soils. The main objectives of this study …

Heavy metal content in soil and the most abundant indigenous plant species (Artemisia
sieberi) in Sarcheshmeh area is investigated. Sequential extraction analysis is carried out …

Artificially contaminated soils (A, B) and naturally contaminated soil (S2) in China were used
as the tested soils, and the effect of continuous flooding on the changes of Eh, pH and the …
