A recent study published in the Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science revealed that certain ligands can help in addressing lead in soil. In the study, researcher Salman Hassan Selmy of Egypt’s Assiut University looked at sorption, desorption, and the immobilization of lead in different soil types after ligand treatments.
The researchers concluded that lead sorption is highly dependent on which ligands will be used for treatment and the soil type.
