Using isotopic dilution to assess chemical extraction of labile Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb in soils (2016)
Journal Article
Garforth, J. M., Bailey, E. H., Tye, A. M., Young, S. D., & Lofts, S. (2016). Using isotopic dilution to assess chemical extraction of labile Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb in soils. Chemosphere, 155, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2016.04.096

Chemical extractants used to measure labile soil metal must ideally select for and solubilise the labile fraction, with minimal solubilisation of non-labile metal. We assessed four extractants (0.43 M HNO3, 0.43 M CH3COOH, 0.05 M Na2H2EDTA and 1 M Ca...

Lability of copper bound to humic acid (2015)
Journal Article

Geochemical speciation models generally include the assumption that all metal bound to humic acid and fulvic acid (HA, FA) is labile. However, in the current study, we determined the presence of a soluble ‘non-labile’ Cu fraction bound to HA extracte... Read More about Lability of copper bound to humic acid.

Lability of Pb in soil: effects of soil properties and contaminant source (2014)
Journal Article

Environmental Context: There is growing concern that lead (Pb) in the environment may cause adverse health effects in human populations. We investigated the combined use of isotopic abundance and isotopic dilution to show how the origins of soil Pb...

Does returning sites of historic peri-urban waste disposal to vegetable production pose a risk to human health? - A case study near Manchester, UK (2012)
Journal Article

Does returning sites of historic peri-urban waste disposal to vegetable production pose a risk to human health? - A case study near Manchester, UK. Soil Use and Management, 28(4), 559-570. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-2743.2012.00438.x

Urban waste disposal occurred on fenland to the west of Manchester, England, between 1900 and 1964. The reclaimed fenland, Chat Moss, is now used for mixed arable farming. A total of 1.92 Mt of waste including privy midden, street sweepings, clinkers...

Iodine dynamics in soils (2011)
Journal Article

We investigated changes in iodine ( 129I) solubility and speciation in nine soils with contrasting properties (pH, Fe/Mn oxides, organic carbon and iodine contents), incubated for nine months at 10 and 20°C. The rate of 129I sorption was greater in s... Read More about Iodine dynamics in soils.

Fractionation of lead in soil by isotopic dilution and sequential extraction (2011)
Journal Article

Environmental contextThe chemical reactivity of lead in soil is difficult to assess and depends on both soil conditions and the origins of the lead. This paper tests the combined application of lead isotopic techniques and chemical extraction against... Read More about Fractionation of lead in soil by isotopic dilution and sequential extraction.
