Abstract

Evaluation of soil quality occupies a key position in investigations of soil protection. When quality is related to soil pollution, contaminant behaviour in the soil system is important. An important aspect is contaminent mobility, both with respect to its transport to other environmental compartments and to its uptake by organisms. Behaviour of compounds in soil is governed by a large number of variables which can be compound-related and soil-related. Compound speciation and factors affecting 'bio-availability' are briefly reviewed and attention given to problems associated with heterogeneity.
