Lead in Soil: Recommended GuidelinesPresented by the Lead in Soil Task Force of the Society for Environmental Geochemistry and Health in collaboration with special consultants and of the United States Environmental Protection Agency Edited by Bobby G. Wixson, Clemson University, USA and Brian E. Davies, Bradford University, UK Hardback 132+v pages Published May 1994 ISBN 0-905927-39-7 There is a resurgence of interest in environmental geochemistry and health. This volume of peer reviewed papers reflects the work of experts in domains ranging from the risks of PCB contamination, the role of inorganic elements, analytical aspects and remediation, together with modeling and implications for agriculture and the urban environment. Of interest to: geochemists, epidemiologists, environmental safety officers, environmental consultants and assessors, environmental and analytical chemists, planners in local and national government ContentsExposure to PCBs from hazardous waste: health and environmental assessment * Microbial transport of toxic metals * Exposures to manganese in air in an urban environment * Transport and fate of mercury in a Nevada river system * Remediating soil lead with green plants * Soil, plant and chemical parameters influence root uptake of metals * Polarographic trace level analysis to detect environmental contaminants Identification of carbon and lead sources in atmospheric aerosols * Gallic acid interactions with heavy metals in aqueous solution * Interpretation of heavy metal contamination of land by geographical information systems * Effect of sediment on the uptake of PCB-52 by fish * Mathematical model of extraction procedures * Polarographic evaluation of gallic acid-manganese interactions * Lead in the urban and home environments * The sediment record of urban lakes * Concentration changes of trace metals and radio nuclides in Illinois soils since 1935 * Effects of cadmium on the development of two percid species Inorganic arsenic * Models of manganese exposures from MMT use * Carcinogen hazard identification Survey of drinking water * Soil erosion in Africa and trace elements in diet * Predictability of metal flux in a stream polluted by acid mine drainage
