Lead Speciation and Association with Organic Matter in Various Particle-Size Fractions of Contaminated Soils

Lead (Pb) stabilization in polluted soils treated by a Pb immobilization technique may be dependent on the speciation of Pb present in specific particle-size fractions of the soil. However, the scale-dependency of Pb speciation in contaminated soils is still not clearly understood. In this study, the natures and amounts of Pb chemical forms were determined in five Pb-polluted soil samples from Klity Village, Thailand, and their particle-size...
