dc.description.abstract |
The chemical and physical properties of Mahoning River sediments were investigated in this study. Experiments were conducted to determine how fungal remediation affected availability of toxic metals in contaminated Mahoning River sediment. The total concentrations and availability of toxic metals such as arsenic (As), barium (Ba), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), selenium (Se) and silver (Ag) were determined by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy(ICP-AES) in acid digests and TCLP extracts of the contaminated sediment before and after fungal remediation. |
