A Critical Evaluation of Single Extractions from the SMT Program to Determine Trace Element Mobility in Sediments

Two commonly applied single extractions procedures, namely extractions with ammonium-EDTA and acetic acid, were evaluated based on the analysis of 72 samples from alluvial sediments. For most trace elements (Cu, Zn, Cd, Ni, As, and Pb), a significant linear relationship could be established between...
