Solid-Phase Control on Lead Bioaccessibility in Smelter-Impacted Soils

The goal of this work was to identify the solid-phase control on lead (Pb) bioaccessibility in soils impacted by smelter activities in the city of San Luis Potosi, in north-central Mexico. Total Pb concentrations in 30 ha of soil terrain from a residential area adjacent to the smelter showed levels...

Zusammenfassung:The goal of this work was to identify the solid-phase control on lead (Pb) bioaccessibility in soils impacted by smelter activities in the city of San Luis Potosi, in north-central Mexico. Total Pb concentrations in 30 ha of soil terrain from a residential area adjacent to the smelter showed levels above the 400-mg/kg intervention guideline dictated by Mexican Environmental regulations. These concentrations, although raising human health and environmental concerns, showed low water-soluble lead (
