Heavy Metals in Mosses and Soils

Colloid Deposition and Release in Soils and Their Association With Heavy Metals

Colloid transport in subsurface has received considerable attention recently because mobile colloids can facilitate the transport of heavy metals in soils to contaminate groundwater. Many studies on colloid mobility in the subsurface consider soils as well-defined porous media. Though similar in many aspects, soils are different from well-defined porous media. The authors emphasize the impacts ...

Mobility of heavy metals in soils amended with sewage sludge

Morera, M. T., Echeverría, J. C. and Garrido, J. J. 2001. Mobility of heavy metals in soils amended with sewage sludge. Can. J. Soil Sci. 81: 405–414. Sewage sludges added to arable land can improve soil fertility and physical properties. However, the concentrations of heavy metals commonly found in sludges limits their application to soil. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the mobility ...

Distribution and Forms of Heavy Metals in Some Agricultural Soils

Distribution and availability of heavy metals to plants is important when assessing the environmental quality of an area. The objectives of this study conducted in 2002 were: a) determine the levels of the heavy metals cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn) in the agricultural soils of the Bursa plain so that the degree of pollution could be ascertained,...
