Toxic metals contaminated garden soil was remediated in a pilot-scale. EDTA washing reduced soil Pb, Zn and Cd content, bioavailability and bioaccesiibility. Furthermore, remediation preserved the function of soil as plant and microbial substrate and largely prevented accumulation of toxic metals in the tested vegetables

COBISS.SI-ID: 7408505Novel technology was developed for washing of metal contaminated soils using chelating agent EDTA where EDTA is recycled in a pH gradient and process waters using advanced oxidation methods. Novel technology effectively removes toxic metals from soils and generates no waste-waters.
