Abstract
Water is a major carrier of metal pollutants which can be transported from a disposal site both in dissolved and particulate form. The particles can be original components of the waste as well as newly formed material or existing solids contaminated during leachate flow through the receiving ecosystem. Water is also the medium in which the metal pollutants undergo biological and chemical reactions. Some of these reactions induce phase changes resulting in variations in the rate of metal transport. It is therefore important to understand which phenomena are responsible for retarding the metal fluxes and which are, in contrast, capable of increasing the metal mobility in order to select disposal sites which provide conditions to provoke minimum pollutant dispersion from the point source.
