Suitability of environmental indices in assessment of soil remediation with conventional and next generation washing agents

Abstract Remediation of soils contaminated with metal must ensure high efficiency of metals removal, reduce bioavailability of residual metals and decrease ecological risk. Thus, for comprehensive environmental soil quality assessment, different indices must be used. In this study, suitability of 8...

In this study, suitability of 8 indices was used for soil highly contaminated with Cu (7874.5 mg kg−1), moderately with Pb (1414.3 mg kg−1) and low with Zn (566.1 mg kg−1), washed in batch and dynamic conditions with both conventional and next-generation washing agents. The following indices were used: modified contamination factor (mC f ), modified contamination factor degree (mC deg ), mobility factor (MF), reduced partition index (IR), potential ecological risk factor (E r,Z ), modified potential ecological risk factor (E r,m ), potential ecological risk index (RI Z ) and modified ecological risk index (RI m ). For mC f, mC deg and IR own classification scale was proposed. It was proven that most useful indices for assessment of soil pollution with metals were mC f and mC deg .
