  2. 16. Effects of heavy metal contamination on carbon and nitrogen cycling : An ecological approach to assess risks to soil functions

    Author : Ingrid Rijk; Alf Ekblad; Dan Berggren Kleja; Erik Karltun; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heavy metals; soil contamination; stable isotopes; N cycling microbial guilds; 13C; 15N; nitrification; denitrification; biochar; soil respiration; microbial activity; bioavailability;

    Abstract : Soil contamination with heavy metals may disrupt soil microorganisms with important roles in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling. However, there is a lack of understanding on how microorganisms are affected in soil, which may lead to a mismatch when assessing risks of contaminants to field soils. READ MORE

  4. 17. Organic complexing agents for remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil

    Author : Zandra Arwidsson; Bert Allard; Mats Åström; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; soil washing; heavy metals; chelators; recycling; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; Enviromental Science; Miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Soil washing of heavy metal contaminated soil may be enhanced by the addition of synthetic chelators. Since many of these chelators may imply stress to soil organisms and are poorly biodegraded, identification and evaluation of effective biodegradable or recyclable chelators (synthetic and/or naturally produced) is of great interest.

  5. 18. Microbial remediation of heavy metal ion polluted soil and water

    Author : Torbjörn Håkansson; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; EDTA; metal; soil; remediation; Sulphate reducing bactera; biogas; water;

    Abstract : Contamination of soil and water by heavy metal ions (HMs) is a problem all over the world.The use of biological methods alone or in combination with other techniques for treatment of such polluted sites constitutes a major challenge. READ MORE

  6. 19. Value of Information Analysis for Site Investigations in Remediation Projects

    Author : Pär-Erik Back; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; uncertainty; value of information; soil; decision analysis; sampling; remediation; contaminated land; site investigation;

    Abstract : Site investigations of contaminated land are associated with high costs. From a societal point of view, just enough economic resources should be spent to allow societys limited resources to be allocated optimally to sustainable development. READ MORE

  7. 20. On Uncertainty and Data Worth in Decision Analysis for Contaminated Land

    Author : Pär-Erik Back; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; uncertainty; decision analysis; risk; sampling; data worth; soil sampling; contaminated land;

    Abstract : Contaminated soil and groundwater is a problem that has received increased attention in the last decade. Decision-making about investigation strategies, protective actions, and remedial actions is based on sparse and uncertain information, primarily data of contaminant concentrations and geological information.
