The distribution of metals in soils and pore water at three U.S. military training facilities.

摘要: Small arms firing ranges at military training facilities can have enormous heavy metal burdens (percent level) in soils. Currently there are few published works that quantify the content of soils and waters installations or speculate on potential for migration these contaminants into groundwater. This article documents metals nine small three U.S. Soil samples were collected from surface shallow subsurface. The results demonstrated lead, antimony, copper, zinc principal interest mapping a site's lead copper distributions would adequately define extent impacted soil. Lower concentrations reflected previous remediation by means physical separation mechanical removal metallic fragments followed fixation treatment with MaectiteTM. Except treated where mixing had occurred, subsurface soil s...
