Soils near non-ferrous metal smelters are often highly polluted by metal(loid)s. Compared to temperate soils, tropical soils are particularly affected by this type of contamination, because they generally exhibit low organic matter contents and contain low-activity clays and less reactive Fe-oxides. This study was performed to provide information on the reactivity of Cu-smelter fly ashes in a tropical soil and to assess contaminant release and subsequent distribution and mobility.
