Chelant-enhanced phytoextraction has received a lot of attention in the past decade. In
theory, this technique could cleanse metal polluted soils by solubilizing contaminating …

Since its invention more than three decades ago, passive sampling technology has been
widely used for environmental monitoring throughout the world. In many cases, it is the only …

Environmental context It is now nearly 20 years since the introduction of the technique of
diffusive gradients in thin films, which can provide information on solute concentrations and …

Environmental context The health of aquatic organisms depends on the distribution of the
dissolved forms of chemical components (speciation) and their rates of interaction …

Environmental context. Total concentrations of mineral elements in soil bear little relation to
their availability for plants. The DGT (diffusive gradients in thin-films) technique has been …

The present study examines the effects of exposure to oil sands on the early life stages
(ELS) off fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas). Sediments within and outside natural oil …

Dissolved trace metals are present in the environment as free ions and as complexes.
Commonly used models to predict metal bioavailability consider the free ion as the major …

Dissolved and particulate concentrations of metals (Fe, Al, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Tl, Pb)
and As were monitored over a 5 year period in the Amous River downstream of its …

Passive sampling devices accumulate chemicals continuously from water and can provide
time weighted average (TWA) concentrations of pollutants over the exposure period. Hence …

Trace metals were measured in situ in a freshwater river draining a peat catchment (DOC=
15 mg L-1) using diffusive gradients in thin-films (DGT) devices with a range of gel layer …
