Abstract
Anthropic activities can greatly modify natural geochemical cycles of toxic heavy metals. Their accumulation in the pedosphere and lithosphere is of great concern since, contrary to organic xenobiotic compounds, they are not subject to any degradation. It is now widely recognized that it is not the total amount or concentration of a given heavy metal which is most important for understanding its environmental behaviour but rather that the key to the flux of a metallic element is its speciation.
