| Abstract |
The information published concerning the behavior of ruthenium in plant and soil systems is reviewed and areas needing further investigation are identified. Studies in the literature indicate that ruthenium is one of the most chemically complex elements, thereby challenging the initiative and investigative abilities of both physical and biological scientists. Ruthenium can become extremely mobile in soils at one time, and then become tightly bound the next. The retention and binding of ruthenium on soil colloids and other environmental media have been demonstrated to be both a physical and chemical phenomenon; however, these binding mechanisms have largely remained unidentified and uninvestigated. Evidence indicates that ruthenium can become incorporated into plants through either a root or foliar exposure. |
