The Relationship

The relationship between three different heavy metal fractions in soils irrigated for long periods of time with untreated wastewater from Mexico City and the metal uptake by alfalfa (Medicago sativa) was studied in order to evaluate actual accumulation levels in soils, as well as to establish which extracting solution characterizes most precisely the availability of selected heavy metals to plants. Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn were analyzed in aqua regia, 1 M NH4NO3 and water extracts from 50 soil samples and correlated with total contents in alfalfa tissue collected at the same sites. Heavy metal contents of the 3 fractions increase significantly with irrigation time, but European tolerance limits are slightly exceeded only for Cd at some sites. Plant uptake of Cd and Pb also increases the longer the soils have been irrigated and correlates best with aqua regia extracts from soils.

AbstractMagnetic screening as a cost-effective and non-time-consuming approach has been successfully carried out in Marambio soils and seems to be a suitable method for contamination assessment in Antarctic areas. Ferromagnetic minerals are found in most samples, and magnetite-like carriers are especially dominant in samples collected near pollution sources. Lead and zinc are the main trace elements that have adversely impacted on some areas in this station, both are end products from different pollution sources derived from fuel combustion and residues, solid waste, paints, etc. The correlation results between magnetic and chemical variables show moderate relationships varying from 0.409 to 0.663; this fact supports the use of magnetic parameters, such as magnetic susceptibility and bivariate ratios, for pollution monitoring. The magnetic properties, heavy metal contents, and related maps of these soils can be considered as a reference in the area for future temporal and/or spatial work.

Porous pavements infiltrated with stormwater are faced with clogging problems: runoff particles seep and clog the pervious surface layer of these structures. Clogging material samples (in the form of sludge) have been collected in cleaning operations on the pervious asphalt. This study aims at characterizing these materials, particle size distribution, heavy metal contents by particle size, and studying interactions between metals and particles. A sequential extraction procedure proposed by the experts of the Community Bureau of Reference (B.C.R.) was applied to provide information about heavy metal distribution on particles and to evaluate interaction strength, and consequently potential metal mobility when chemical variations occurred in the environment. Mainly made up of sand, the materials are polluted with lead, copper, zinc and cadmium. The concentrations appeared to be linked with road traffic intensity. The heavy metal contents by particle size showed that the finer are the particles, the higher are the heavy metal concentrations. Heavy metals were found potentially labile; metals contents in the residual fraction (mineral fraction) represented less than 20 % of the total concentration. Cadmium and zinc were apparently more labile than lead and copper.
