abstract = {Recent sedimentological and morphological evolution of an island in the river loire (france) was investigated using the 137cs method. this study describes the morphological adjustment of the island in the last 50 years, which corresponds to the increased bed incision of this sandy, multiple-channel environment because of, among other things, the increase in sediment extraction up to 1995. the results show that some 137cs can be retained by sandy particles, potentially in clay minerals forming weathering features included in detrital sand grains. from a morphological perspective, significant lateral erosion can be observed in the upstream part of the island, while a weak lateral accretion occurs in its downstream section. data about 137cs and aerial photographs show that the morphology of the island margins has undergone significant changes leading to a lateral migration, while the centre of the island has remained relatively stable or is slowly eroding. the migration of the island depends on: (1) the withdrawal of inherited preincision morphological units, such as levees, or the development of new units, such as a channel shelf; (2) water and sediment supply from surrounding channels during flood events; (3) preferential sediment trapping (20 mm year− 1) from the presence of riparian vegetation on the bank of the secondary channel that is subject to narrowing. the sedimentological and morphological response of the island in the context of incision of the loire river bed is expressed mainly by lateral migration and secondarily by a low vertical adjustment.},

abstract = {Chinese cabbage and surface soil samples (0–20 cm) from a periurban market garden in yunnan province (p.r. china) were collected to determine variations of cadmium (cd) and zinc (zn) contents in chinese cabbage and the influence of soil factors. mean cd content was 0.49 mg kg1 dry materials (dm) in chinese cabbage, ranging between 0.23 and 1.34 mg kg1 dm (n ¼ 21 samples). mean zn content was 51.2 mg kg1 dm, ranging from 34.9 to 157.5 mg kg1 dm (n ¼ 21 samples). the soil factors best predicting chinese cabbage cd and zn contents were total and available cd and zn contents and cation exchange capacity (cec). soil samples and corresponding chinese cabbage samples were divided into two groups: soils with low ph (56.5, n ¼ 10) and soils with high ph (46.5, n ¼ 11). positive correlation between cec with ph 4 6.5 and cd and zn contents in chinese cabbage were observed. available trace element contents and cec explained 77% and 69% of variation of cd and zn contents in chinese cabbage, respectively. aec (enrichment coefficient related to trace element availability) and bcf (bioaccumulation factors) could be used to understand cd and zn accumulation in chinese cabbage.},

abstract = {Lithium can reach high concentrations in some geological environments, such as rare element pegmatites, continental brines, and hydrothermal systems. the h2o-nacl-licl system was investigated as a model for fluid inclusion studies in lithium-rich fluids. we first compiled experimental data (freezing point depression measurements and halite solubility data). synthetic fluid inclusions were then prepared in quartz crystals, in order to obtain new solubility data and to observe phase transitions in a system characterized by the presence of numerous hydrates. the combination of raman microspectrometry and microthermometry leads to identify undoubtedly the phase transition succession. raman revealed partial crystallization and metastable phase transitions. a new spectrum for licl pentahydrate, the stable phase melting at the eutectic, is presented. the pitzer model was used to calculate phase solubility using published expressions of activity coefficients for the h2onacl and h2o-licl systems. we finally propose a representation of the h2o-nacl-licl phase diagram for the interpretation of phase transitions in li-rich chloride-dominated fluid inclusions in the range −50° to +100°c.},

abstract = {The spatial distribution of total and cacl2-extracted cd, pb and zn concentrations in smelter-impacted soils was investigated over a polluted site (40 km2) in northern france. the study was conducted on 262 soils sampled in woody habitats. total and extracted concentrations of trace metals (tms) rose up to 2402 and 59.5 mg kg1 for cd, 41 960 and 13.7 mg kg1 for pb, 38 760 and 143.0 mg kg1 for zn, respectively. the spatial dependence of both total and extracted concentrations showed a high spatial auto-correlation and ordinary kriging was used to predict soil concentrations. investigating which variables influenced metal concentrations and their spatial distribution, we found that total concentrations mostly depended on the distance from the smelter, the wind and the organic carbon, while extracted concentrations were mainly modulated by the ph. conditionally to those variables, other soil properties and landscape characteristics influenced both total and extracted concentrations. we conclude that total and extracted tm concentrations are governed by different processes which act at various spatial ranges: total concentrations are mainly related to input and retention of metals (large scale) whereas extracted concentrations were mainly explained by factors controlling metal solubility in soils (local scale). spatial distributions of total and extracted tms differed over the area, which should be considered for risk assessment. maps of risk based on the us epa’s eco-ssls (for plants, invertebrates and vertebrates) were realized, showing that wildlife may be at risk but that the relevance of eco-ssl values is questionable.},

abstract = {The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of the addition of cu, cd, ni, pb and zn nitrate salts on the compressive strength of a cem i portland cement. concentrations of 0.018 or 0.18 mol/kg of cement of each trace element were tested. after 2 days age, the compressive strength was reduced by various extents by addition of heavy metals, with the exception of ni. this difference is due to a delay in tricalcium silicate hydration (c3s) as shown by an isothermal calorimetry test. trace elements also influence the 28-days compressive strength, whereas the measured degree of hydration of these cement pastes is the same. as shown by scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction, cu and pb are predominantly absorbed in the calcium silicate hydrate gel (c–s–h) while cd, ni and zn are mainly precipitated as hydroxides within the intergranular porosity. thus, trace elements precipitated as hydroxides have only a slight effect on the compressive strength. in contrast, cu and pb cause an increase in mechanical resistance by changing the c–s–h nanometric assembly and its density},

abstract = {Earthworms (eisenia andrei) were exposed, in controlled conditions, to metal-contaminated soils previously treated in situ with two types of fluidized bed combustion ashes. effects on this species were determined by life history traits analysis. metal immobilizing efficiency of ashes was indicated by metal bioaccumulation. ashes-treated soils reduced worm mortality compared to the untreated soil. however, these ashes reduced both cocoon hatching success and hatchlings numbers compared to the untreated soil. in addition, sulfo-calcical ashes reduced or delayed worm maturity and lowered cocoon production compared to silico-alumineous ones. metal immobilizing efficiency of ashes was demonstrated for zn, cu and to a lesser extent pb. only silico-alumineous ashes reduced cd bioaccumulation, although cd was still bioconcentrated. thus, although ash additions to metal-contaminated soils may help in immobilizing metals, their use might result, depending on the chemical nature of ashes, to severe detrimental effects on earthworm reproduction with possible long term consequences to populations.},
