Acid sulfate soils have been described as the “nastiest soils on earth” because of their
strong acidity, increased mobility of potentially toxic elements and limited bioavailability of …

The objective of this study was to review the available research information on the
environmental risks and effects of metals leached from Finnish acid sulphate soils. The …

Urbanization is a major cause of loss of coastal wetlands. Urbanization also exerts
significant influences on the structure and function of coastal wetlands, mainly through …

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a worldwide environmental problem, characterized by low pH
values and high concentrations of heavy metals. Heavy metal pollution of sediments caused …

Freshwater re-flooding is a relatively novel approach to remediate drained acid sulfate soil
(ASS) wetlands. This study documents the geochemical consequences of restoring …

This study tracks changes in metal distribution in estuarine sediments as a result of leakage
from acid sulphate (AS) soil landscapes in the Boreal Zone (Finland). The main objective …

Groundwater utilization and groundwater quality vary in the Baltic and Nordic countries
mainly because of different geological settings. Based on the geology, the countries were …

Soluble salts, which can move with gravity-induced movement of water, and salts retained in
soils (especially sodium) can adversely influence onsite and offsite natural resources and …

Dissolved (< 1kDa), colloidal (1kDa–0.45 μm) and particulate (> 0.45 μm) size fractions of 30
elements were determined for four rivers (Sirppujoki, Laajoki, Mynäjoki and Paimionjoki) …
