The In-Place Inactivation and Natural Ecological Restoration
Technologies (IINERT) Soil-Metals Action Team wants to identify areas for use
as potential research field sites and to collect sufficient quantities and
types of soils for research purposes. The Team has grouped the types of sites
to be include in these studies based on the source of lead (Pb) contamination,
such as:
- Industrial or waste sites, including tetraethyllead and
ammunition manufacturing, burning grounds, and battery breaking;
- Mining and smelting operations;
- Orchard sites on which PbAsO4 pesticides have
been applied;
- Soils contaminated mainly from paint or leaded gasoline
emissions; and
- Firing ranges.
The Team wants to study soils and sites with total Pb
concentrations from 0.2 to 1 percent, although concentrations above and below
this range also may be desirable. Other inorganic and organic contaminants also
may be present. The plan is to collect surface soil samples in bulk (55 gal.)
from each of the Pb-contamination source groups. The samples will include soils
of various textures and pH. All soils will be characterized by standard methods
for relevant soil properties and made available to IINERT Team members for
additional study.
If you can suggest additional sites, please
