Soil Pollution by Metals from Mining and Smelting Activities

  • Chapter

Abstract

Soil pollution by metals such as Cd, Zn, Pb, Cu, As, and Hg has been recognized in many countries. In recent years, it has become one of the most important environmental problems in the developed countries and perhaps in the developing countries.
