The Use Of Organic Materials As Amendments In The Remediation Of Soils Contaminated By Lead, Copper And Zinc
ABSTRACT
Metal contamination of soils is widespread across the globe as a direct consequence of atmospheric and industrial pollution, and the clean up of such soils is a difficult task (DielsB et al., 2002; Voegelin et al., 2003). Soil remediation is an urgent need in developing countries as they face rapid industrialization, and the challenge becomes the achievement of effective remediation through techniques which are inexpensive. This research was initiated as a direct response to the escalating problems of industrial soil contamination in Nigeria, and three approaches were taken to evaluate agricultural materials as a viable option to clean up metal contaminated soil. The capacity of the amendments to immobilise metal was determined; their effect on plant growth and metal uptake was evaluated, and the effect of metal on microbial breakdown of the amendments was also evaluated.
