In situ measurements to investigate the mobilisation and speciation of emerging and priority oxyanionic contaminants in water, sediment, and soil

锑、铬、钒、钨等新出现的和优先出现的氧阴离子污染物对环境造成了重大危害。它们通常与采矿有关，在澳大利亚已经确定了许多受污染的地点。为了适当地管理这些污染物，需要有合适的方法来分析它们。将开发被动采样技术，以测量这些污染物及其在水、沉积物和土壤孔隙水中的形态。该项目将使用这些新的采样器在实验室中观实验中以及在澳大利亚选定的污染现场调查这些污染物动员的地球化学机制。

Emerging and priority oxyanionic contaminants such as antimony, chromium, vanadium and tungsten present a significant environmental hazard. They are often associated with mining, and numerous contaminated sites have been identified within Australia. In order to manage these contaminants appropriately, there needs to be suitable methods to analyse them. Passive sampling technology will be developed that will allow the measurement of these contaminants and their speciation in water, and sediment and soil pore waters. This project will use these new samplers to investigate the geochemical mechanisms of mobilisation of these contaminants in laboratory mesocosm experiments, as well as at selected contaminated field sites within Australia.
