“…The potential values of common soil amendments (phosphates, lime, biosolids and coal ash) relative to their ability to immobilize metals such as lead in soil or sediment are discussed by Traina & Laperche (1999), for attenuation of Cd and Zn availability in polluted soil amended with CaCO 3 and KH 2 PO 4 (Hamon et al 2002), for Pb, Cd, As and Hg immobilization with phosphates and lime (Porter et al 2004). For the review of the implications of liming in relation to heavy metal transformation and bioavailability in acidic soils see Bolan et al (2003a) and Adriano et al (2004).…”

The biotransformation of metals is an exciting, developing strategy to treat metal contamination, especially in environments that are not accessible to other remediation technologies. However, our ability to benefit from these strategies hinges on our ability to monitor these transformations in the environment. That's why remediation of contaminated sediments and soil requires detailed in situ characterization of the speciation of the toxic substances and their transformations with respect to time and spatial distribution. The present paper gives an overview of the literature regarding research performed in the laboratory as well as in the field.

“…The As(V) is more effective in forming stable crystalline Fe and Al oxides bound As (As of F3), so that the lability of As reduced by CaO 2 treatments through H 2 O 2 releasing. Furthermore, in the presence of Ca under highly oxidizing and moderate pH conditions, calcium hydrogen arsenate (CaHAsO 4 ) and calcium arsenate (Ca 3 (AsO 4 ) 2 ) could precipitate and reduce the mobility of As (Porter et al, 2004). But under acid or alkaline pH conditions, the As was more mobile (Magalhães, 2002) due to the As adsorption on soil mineral surface or co-precipitation depending on soil pH (Sadiq, 1997;Al-abed et al, 2007).…”

“…Great attention has been given to cadmium due to its toxic behavior in the environment (Steinnes 1989;Flyhammer 1995;Porter et al 2004). The main dissolved forms of Cd are chloride complexes whereas the most available species is the free ion (Cd 2+ ), the proportion of which increases with decreasing salinity (Engel and Fowler 1979;Cross and Sunda 1985).…”

Estuaries and coastal zones are dynamic transitional systems which provide many economic and ecological benefits to humans, but also are an ideal habitat for other organisms as well. These areas are becoming contaminated by various anthropogenic activities due to a quick economic growth and urbanization. This chapter explores the sources, chemical speciation, sediment accumulation and removal mechanisms of the harmful elements in estuarine and coastal seawaters. It also describes the effects of toxic elements on aquatic flora and fauna. Finally, the toxic element pollution of the Venice Lagoon, a transitional water body located in the northeastern part of Italy, is discussed as a case study, by presenting the procedures adopted to measure the extent of the pollution, the impacts on organisms and the restoration activities.
