Continuous contamination of the environment with xenobiotics and related recalcitrant
compounds has emerged as a serious pollution threat. Bioremediation is the key to …

Remediation of soils contaminated with toxic metal (loid) s (TMs) and mitigation of the
associated ecological and human health risks are of great concern. Sodium sulfide (Na 2 S) …

The Aznalcóllar accident, which occurred in 1998, spilled 36× 10 5 m 3 of pyritic sludge and
9× 10 5 m 3 of acidic water around an area of 43 km 2 in the south of Spain. This spill is …

The study aimed at evaluating the geochemical fractions of Zn, Pb, Cd and their
bioavailability in soil in-depth and around the root of Pinus halepensis grown on heavily …

Trace elements can be toxic when they cannot be easily removed after entering an
ecosystem, so a long-term assessment is fundamental to guide ecosystem restoration after …

The present work evaluated the influence of eight different soil remediation techniques,
based on the use of residual materials (gypsum, marble, vermicompost) on the reduction in …

This study evaluates the potential toxicity of the soils of the Guadiamar Green Corridor
(GGC) affected by the Aznalcóllar mine spill (Andalusia, Spain), one of the most important …

Background Soils contaminated with heavy metals (HMs) pose a risk to human health via
the food chain, as many edible plants absorb these metals. In turn, some of these plants …

This study evaluated the effectiveness of remediation treatments in the long‐term (20 years)
for one of the largest mine spills in the world, the Aznalcóllar accident. Soil recovery was …

A long-term case of residual pollution is studied after 20 years since the largest mining
accident in Spain (the Aznalcóllar spill) happened. This pollution is manifested through a …
