Evaluating the ability of standardised leaching tests to predict metal(loid) leaching from intact soil columns using size-based elemental fractionation

Abstract

Laboratory-based leaching tests are frequently used for in situ risk assessments of contaminant leaching to groundwater and surface waters. This study evaluated the ability of three standardised leaching tests to assess leaching of lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) from four intact soil profiles, by considering particulate (0.45-8 mu m; percolation test), colloidal (10 kDa-0.45 mu m) and truly dissolved (
