Impact of systematic change of redox potential on the leaching of Ba, Cr, Sr, and V from a riverine soil into water

Purpose Floodplain soils are often contaminated with toxic elements such as Ba, Cr, Sr, and V. For an adequate risk assessment of such contaminated sites, the assessment of factors affecting the leaching of those elements from riverine soils into water is fundamental. Since the redox potential (EH) can be important within this context, we aimed to assess the impact of pre-set redox conditions on the dynamics of Ba, Cr, Sr, and V in a floodplain soil.
