MEDIATING EFFECTS OF HUMIC SUBSTANCES IN THE CONTAMINATED ENVIRONMENTS

Concepts, Results, and Prospects

  • Conference paper
Soil and Water Pollution Monitoring, Protection and Remediation

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAIV,volume 69))

Abstract

A new concept for the mediating action of humic substances (HS) in the contaminated environment is developed. It defines three scenarios of mitigating activity of HS in the system “living cell-ecotoxicant”.
