## Abstract Soil from a site heavily contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was treated with a pilotโscale, solvent extraction technology. Bioassays in earthworms and plants were used to examine the efficacy of the remediation process for reducing the toxicity of the soil. The earthworm

## Abstract The environmental risk from soil lead (Pb) is related to its bioavailability. Soil Pb bioavailability depends on the solubility of Pb solid phases and other siteโspecific soil chemistry, suggesting that in situ stabilization of soil Pb can be accomplished by changing soil Pb chemistry.
## Abstract The effectiveness of surfactant formulations to remove aged metals from a field soil and their influence on soil toxicity was investigated. Batch studies were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of cationic (1โdodecylpyridinium chloride; DPC), nonionic (oleyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chl
