General description | Soil contamination or soil pollution is caused by the presence of human-made chemical or other alteration in the natural soil environmental.Knowledge of the behaviour in soil and their effects on organisms (human beings, plants, soil biota) is required in order to assess soil quality and to select proper soil remediation methods in case of severe pollution. The field of applications is not limited to soil but includes sediments and solid wastes.The course focuses on soil risk assessment and the basic knowledge necessary to be able to apply a risk assessment procedure to polluted soil sites. Basic knowledge comprises compound behaviour in soils (speciation, transport, uptake) and effects on soil organisms (bioavailability, uptake, dose-response relationships, risk assessment).Speciation focuses on adsorption to soil particles and on complexation reactions: mechanism and modelling, especially of heavy metals with organic matter.Consideration of soil pollution in mine waste management and reclamation of mining areas.Mining: the risk is often associated with storage or disposal of tailings, acid mine drainage and the use of certain chemical reagents.Pollution of groundwater is often associated with these processes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
