This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Superfund program of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was created in the 1980s to address human-health and environmental risks posed by abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste sites. Identification of Superfund sites and their remediation is an expensive multistep process. As part of this process, EPA attempts to identify parties that are responsible for the contamination and thus financially responsible for remediation. Identification of potentially responsible parties is complicated because Superfund sites can have a long history of use and involve contaminants that can have many sources. Such is often the case for mining sites that involve metal contamination; metals occur naturally in the environment, they can be contaminants in the wastes generated at or released from the sites, and they can be used in consumer products, which can degrade and release the metals back to the environment. This report examines the extent to which various sources contribute to environmental lead contamination at Superfund sites that are near lead-mining areas and focuses on sources that contribute to lead contamination at sites near the Southeast Missouri Lead Mining District. It recommends potential improvements in approaches used for assessing sources of lead contamination at or near Superfund sites.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until the publication of this new book there had been a lack of well-founded guidelines for evaluating concentrations of lead in soil and its relationship to human health. Thus, much confusion has existed among regulatory agencies, industries, public health officials, and the medical community about the evaluation and remedying of lead-contaminated soils. Lead in Soil: Recommended Guidelines represents the combined efforts of a multi-disciplinary international task force from the Society for Environmental Geochemistry and Health (SEGH) whose members are experts in the fields of lead pollution and toxicology. It provides an international consensus concerning environmental lead and blood lead-especially in children. The task force evaluated the evidence and made recommendations for guidelines to appraise lead concentration. It also studied the influence of soil and other sources of lead on blood lead concentrations. A model was prepared that allows the user to select appropriate target levels of blood lead while allowing for a variety of environmental situations or regulatory criteria.

This book was released on 2011-08-30 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heavy-metal contamination is one of the world's major environmental problems, posing significant risks to agro-ecosystems. Conventional technologies employed for heavy-metal remediation have often been expensive and disruptive. This book provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage of the natural, sustainable alternatives that use a wide range of biological materials in the removal/detoxification of heavy metals, consequently leading to the improvement of crops in these soils. Novel, environmentally friendly and inexpensive solutions are presented based on a sound understanding of metal contamination and the roles of plants and microbes in the management of these toxic soils. Written by worldwide experts, the book provides not only the necessary scientific background but also addresses the challenging questions that require special attention in order to better understand metal toxicity in soils and its management through bioremediation.

Download or read book Lead Contamination of Soils in an Abandoned Rifle Range Augusta County Virginia written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presence of high concentrations of Lead within the soil and water could lead to various health related impacts on humans and wildlife. Exposure to Lead short termly or long termly could lead to many detrimental impacts due to Lead poisoning. The overall concentration of Lead in a soil can be measured using an Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS) under laboratory conditions. The present study investigates the Lead concentration of contaminated abandoned riffle range located in Augusta County, Virginia. Soil samples were obtained using soil augurs from three locations randomly based on the severity of contamination. Location three, which was located 50 ft away from the contaminated site, was considered as the control. Soil samples were analyzed for soil texture, color, wet sieve, dry sieve, pH, acidity and Lead concentrations. Initially samples were grinded and sieved through # 20 sieve. Standard methods were followed to analyze the samples. Soil texture was determined using wet sieve analysis while the particle sizes were determined based on the USCIS classification. Soil pH was determined using pH meter and the acidity was determined using a titration. The lead concentrations were determined using an ICPMS. The pH, wet sieve and dry sieve classification was used to correlate the Lead concentration of the site. Results indicated that the study site has been contaminated with soil mobile Lead. The mean concentrations of Lead for location one were 1327.1 ppm, which has exceeded the EPA standard limit. The Lead concentration of the location two was close to exceed the EPA standard limit. The texture of the soil in the study site was clay, which could potentially decrease the mobility of Lead and could lead in increase in the Lead concentrations in the soil due to existence of poor drainage conditions. Further investigations with more number of sampling locations and more replicates should be necessary to confirm the findings of the present study. In the mean time it is necessary to adopt techniques to decrease the Lead concentrations below the EPA standard limit.
