Informationen zum Autor Rebecca Hamon, Mike McLaughlin, Enzo Lombi Klappentext Offering a concise! well-rounded perspective from pioneers in the field! Natural Attenuation of Trace Element Availability in Soils demonstrates how attenuation processes can significantly impact strategies for soil remediation and serve as a basis for environmental regulations. The first chapters focus on analytical techniques for measuring the attenuation of trace elements. The following chapters analyze the processes that occur in the natural attenuation of contaminants and nutrients! including diffusion! fixation! and biological and redox processes. The remaining chapters consider the impact and implications of these processes in terms of risk assessment! remediation of inorganic contaminants! and bioavailability of essential nutrients. Zusammenfassung Demonstrates how attenuation processes can significantly impact strategies for soil remediation.
