Processes controlling geogenic arsenic distribution in soils formed from iron-rich sedimentary rocks
Soils formed from Fe-rich sedimentary rocks can contain elevated As contents. Although the geogenic origin of As in these soils is recognized, the processes controlling its distribution within soil profiles and its mobility in topsoils are still unclear, limiting effective prediction of soils with potentially hazardous As contents for human health ...

Sedimentary Mercury Enrichments as a Tracer of Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Secondary enrichment of soil by alkaline emissions: the specific form of anthropogenic soil degradation near magnesite processing factories and possibilities of land management [PDF]
Over the past 90 years, anthropogenic degradation of soil caused by alkaline, magnesium-rich dust deposit has presented a serious problem near magnesite processing factories in Jelšava and in Lubeník (Slovakia). The objective of this study was to investigate the chemical and biological soil properties in 14 sampling sites at different distances from ...

Lanthanides Release and Partitioning in Municipal Wastewater Effluents
The use of lanthanides is increasing in our society, whether in communication technologies, transportation, electronics or medical imaging. Some lanthanides enter urban wastewater and flow through municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).
