Mercury is recognized as a global pollutant. A large amount of elemental mercury was used in the Manhattan Project Oak Ridge, TN and Hg still present water-shed surrounding Y-12 facility East Fork Poplar Creek. Soil erosion during rainfall-runoff events result nonpoint source transport from floodplain soils to aquatic ecosystems. This study investigated mechanisms through surface runoff processes into water with simulated rainfall laboratory pilot scale experiment. The experiments intensity...
Selection of rice varieties and application amendments are effective measures to ensure food safety. Here we report that in the non-Cd area, grain quality all met Chinese National Grain Safety Standards (CNGSS). In high-Cd showed significant different bioaccumulation Cd with lower yields than those area average decrease 31.1%. There was a negative correlation between content yields. A total 19 were selected as low accumulating their CNGSS low-Cd area. Six them The significantly reduced...
Graphical abstractAbstractLaboratory studies using metal spiked soils are challenging due to soil heterogeneity. This work provides an easy, quick, precise, and accurate technique for the preparation of laboratory research. The process described spiking with various uranium species other heavy metals scale pilot experiments under biogeochemical conditions. procedure involves grinding both dry chemicals into fine powder. mixture was further homogenized through a modified splitting combining...
Uranium is a naturally occurring trace element and radionuclide. introduced to the environment anthropogenically as result of industrial, military, nuclear energy activities. The approach coupled electrokinetic phytoremediation has been used remove other heavy metals from contaminated soil. objectives this study are investigate distribution solubility uranium in soils with UO2, UO3, uranyl examine processes removing U perennial ryegrass at laboratory pilot scale. A low-intensity direct...
