Soil pollution by heavy metals is strictly related to industrial production, agricultural operation, mining and metallurgical process, and waste disposal practices. Heavy metals can be retained by soils but also mobilized in solution by different biological and chemical mechanism resulting in potential contamination of water bodies, with special reference to drinking water supply,or uptake by vegetation with potential food chain impacts. This paper reports the findings from the environmental characterization of materials from an abandoned mining site in Italy in order to evaluate heavy metals speciation in soil and mine tailings and to develop a possible remediation strategy.

Abstract
Soil pollution by heavy metals is strictly related to industrial production, agricultural operation, mining and metallurgical process, and waste disposal practices. Heavy metals can be retained by soils but also mobilized in solution by different biological and chemical mechanism resulting in potential contamination of water bodies, with special reference to drinking water supply,or uptake by vegetation with potential food chain impacts. This paper reports the findings from the environmental characterization of materials from an abandoned mining site in Italy in order to evaluate heavy metals speciation in soil and mine tailings and to develop a possible remediation strategy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
