Hettiarachchi**, G. M., G. M. Pierzynski, F. W. Oehme, AND O. Sonmez. ADSORPTION OF LEAD FROM A CONTAMINATED SOIL TREATED WITH PHOSPHORUS AND MANGANESE OXIDES BY APRAGUE-DAWLEY RATS. Presented at Sixth International Conference on Biogeochemistry of Trace Elements, University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada, 7/29-8/2/2001.

Description:

In addition to the formation of insoluble lead (Pb) compounds as a mean of reducing Pb bioavalability, adsorption is another potentially important process controlling the bioavailability of Pb in soils. Less attention has been given to manganese (Mn) oxides, even though they are known to adsorb Pb more strongly than any other metal (hydr) oxides. This study was conducted to determine the extent of adsorption of Pb into the blood, bone, liver, and kidney of young rats that were fed with Pb contaminated soil treatment with P and P plus Mn oxide.
