Beschreibung
Trace elements occur naturally in soils and some are essentialnutrients for plant growth as well as human and animal health.However, at elevated levels, all trace elements become potentiallytoxic. Anthropogenic input of trace elements into the naturalenvironment therefore poses a range of ecological and healthproblems.
As a result of their persistence and potential toxicity, traceelements continue to receive widespread scientific and legislativeattention. Trace Elements in Soils reviews the latestresearch in the field, providing a comprehensive overview of thechemistry, analysis, fate and regulation of trace elements insoils, as well as remediation strategies for contaminated soil.
The book is divided into four sections:
* Basic principles, processes, sampling and analyticalaspects: presents an overview including general soil chemistry,soil sampling, analysis, fractionation and speciation.
* Long-term issues, impacts and predictivemodelling: reviews major sources of metal inputs, the impact onsoil ecology, trace element deficient soils and chemical speciationmodelling.
* Bioavailability, risk assessment and remediation:discusses bioavailability, regulatory limits and cleanup technologyfor contaminated soils including phytoremediation and trace elementimmobilization.
* Characteristics and behaviour of individualelements
Written as an authoritative guide for scientists working in soilscience, geochemistry, environmental science and analyticalchemistry, the book is also a valuable resource for professionalsinvolved in land management, environmental planning, protection andregulation.

"This book is very suitable for soil scientists involved in soilcontamination, but also for research chemists, geochemists,agronomists, environmental scientists, ecotoxicologists, andprofessionals who deal with contaminated soils." (Anal BioanalChem, February 2011)
