Release of alkaline earth, alkali and toxic metals from sediments in coastal soils. Technical completion report, Jun 88-Jul 89
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5564158
The report is a compilation of research work conducted on the release of metals in runoff water from two soil types in Coastal Georgia. Metals dissolved from the soil into the precipitation runoff water may enter the ambient streams in appreciable amounts and may degrade the surface water quality. Toxic metals such as cadmium and nickel may adversely affect the water quality of lakes and streams. Vertical leaching resulting from heavy rains also transports considerable amounts of various metals to affect the groundwater quality, particularly in areas with shallow water tables. The release and transport of soil metals in erosion and runoff water depends on such factors as geology, soil type, vegetative cover, topography, agricultural practices, temperature and rainfall.
