Toxicity studies with arsenic in eighty California soils

Arsenic immobilization in soils amended with drinking-water treatment residuals.

Use of Fe/Al hydroxide-containing materials to remediate As-contaminated sites is based on the general notion that As adsorption in soils is primarily controlled by Fe/Al (hydr)oxides. A low-cost and potentially effective substitute for natural Fe/Al hydroxides could be the drinking-water treatment residuals (WTRs). Earlier work in our laboratory has shown that WTRs are effective sorbents for A...

Determination of arsenic in sandy soils.

The analysis of arsenic in soil requires a procedure which is capable of releasing microgram quantities from a complex matrix and eliminating interferences for a specific determination. Kingsley and Schaffert ( I ) have described microdetermination of arsenic in biological material, using concentrated hydrochloric acid for digesting the sample. Beard and Lyerly ( 2 ) have applied the selective ...

Review of interactions between phosphorus and arsenic in soils from four case studies

Arsenic is a non-essential element that poses risks in many environments, including soil, groundwater, and surface water. Insights into the environmental biogeochemistry of As can be gained by comparing As and P reaction processes. Arsenic and P are chemical analogues, and it is proposed that they have similar chemical behaviors in environmental systems. However some chemical properties of As a...
