The Study Of Akali Metal Contamination In Road Side Soil
Beginning of paper
IL 3; Experiment 1
Abstract
Six soil samples were taken from a roadside that was expected to exhibit
characteristic of road salt contamination. This contamination is characterized
by the presence of magnesium, calcium and sodium. The relationship between akali
metal concentration and distance fro ....

.... that can quantify metal
concentrations in the extracts of the soil samples and consequently examine the
relationship between distance from the point of road salt application and akali
metal concentrations.
Experimental
Soil preparation: Six surface soil samples were collected at the intersection of
Cold Spring Lane and the exit ramp of Interstate 83, in northwest Baltimore city.
These samples were collected at distances from the roadway of 0m, 2m, 4m, 6m,
10m, and 20m. These samples ....
