Comparison of Leaching Behaviour and Bioavailability of Heavy Metals in Contaminated Soils and Soils Cleaned Up with Several Extractive and Thermal Methods

  • Chapter
Book cover Contaminated Soil ’88

Abstract

The available methods for the cleaning of contaminated soil do not always succeed in bringing the concentrations of heavy metals down to limits specified by the central government in the Netherlands [1]. A possible explanation is that the remaining metals may consist of a less mobile fraction of the overall contamination. A reduced mobility, however, implies that the residual concentrations possibly are more acceptable.
