A rapid and reproducible procedure suitable for the analysis of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) in sludges and soil samples has been developed. The PACs are isolated by ultrasonic extraction with methyl chloride, redissolution of the crude extract in isooctane and clean-up of the PAC-containing

In order to reclaim a clay quarry, a topsoil material was mixed with gravelly spoil at dierent ratios and with various rates of sewage sludge. The inยฏuence of three spoil/topsoil ratios (1 : 1, 2 : 1 and 3 : 1) and three sludge rates (40, 80 and 120 t ha ร1 ) on chemical properties of the resulting
Organic waste can be recycled as compost which has traditionally been used as a soil improver. As more waste is recycled as compost, it is becoming increasingly important to ยฎnd alternative uses for compost. Leachability data are used to determine the environmental availability of Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn
Plant uptake is one of the major pathways by which sludge-borne potentially toxic metals enter the food chain. This study examined the accumulation of Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in wheat, carrots and spinach grown on soils from 13 sites previously amended with sewage sludge. Winter wheat, carrots and spi
