β¦ Synopsis
A resistivity cone technique was developed to monitor the transport of hazardous substances in soils. This study examines the feasibility of the monitoring technique. In order to achieve this, the change in resistivity during transport of heavy metals was measured using sandy soils and a resistivity cone. The resistivity usually decreases with increasing heavy metal concentration in pore water. However, the retardation effect provided the increase in resistivity when metal solution diluted with distilled water was infiltrated into sand-fresh water system. The change in resistivity resulting from the retardation is discussed in this paper.

We have isolated 25 new strains of streptomycetes from soil samples of a polluted site at the former uranium mine, Wismut, in eastern Thuringia, Germany. The strains grew on medium containing 1 mM NiCl2 and thus were resistant to the heavy metal ion. Seven of the strains were further characterized.
