CORNISH, J., S. NORDWICK, D. R. BLESS, AND N. M. LEWIS. DECREASING LEAD BIOAVAILABILITY OF MINE WASTES: TWO PHOSPHATE FIELD STUDIES. Presented at Fourth International Conference on Remediation of Contaminated Sediments, Savannah, GA, January 22 - 25, 2007.

Impact/Purpose:

To inform the public

Description:

Findings from two evaluation studies of phosphate-based in situ treatment of soils for reducing lead (Pb) bioavailability at two lead mining and lead refining Superfund sites will be presented and discussed. These assessments correlated physicochemical data with results obtained from in vivo methods, plus in vitro methods that mimic mammalian or avian gastrointestinal systems. Both of these studies were performed and funded under EPA's Mine Waste Technology Program.
