Soil Contamination by Trace Metals: Geochemical Behaviour as an Element of Risk Assessment
Trace metals occur naturally in rocks and soils, but increasingly higher quantities of metals are being released into the environment by anthropogenic activities. Metals are chemically very reactive in the environment, which results in their mobility and bioavailability to living organisms. People can be exposed to high levels of toxic metals by breathing air, drinking water, or eating food tha...
متن کاملContamination by trace elements of agricultural soils around Sidi Bou Othmane in abandoned mine tailings in Marrakech, Morocco
This study was carried out for the purpose of investigating the issue of tailings dams as a potential source of contamination by trace elements in soils at the Sidi Bou Othmane mine in the Marrakech Region, Morocco. Soil samples taken from depths of up to 15 cm and within a radius of 50 m from the tailings dams, were analyzed for Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn using atomic absorption spectrometry. Average c...

متن کاملDetection and characterization of trace element contamination on silicon wafers
Increasing the speed and complexity of semiconductor integrated circuits requires advanced processes that put extreme constraints on the level of metal contamination allowed on the surfaces of silicon wafers. Such contamination degrades the performance of the ultrathin SiO2 gate dielectrics that form the heart of the individual transistors. Ultimately, reliability and yield are reduced to level...
متن کاملCurrent Status of Trace Metal Pollution in Soils Affected by Industrial Activities
There is a growing public concern over the potential accumulation of heavy metals in soil, owing to rapid industrial development. In an effort to describe the status of the pollutions of soil by industrial activities, relevant data sets reported by many studies were surveyed and reviewed. The results of our analysis indicate that soils were polluted most significantly by metals such as lead, zi...
