Cover Story: At a heavy-metal-contaminated agricultural area where toxicity from the very high bioavailability of the heavy metals hindered plants growing, feasibility studies were carried out to choose the most effective technologies. The studies based on the site’s specific characteristics, showed that water-based soil washing and “compost-assisted” phytoremediation could be used. Soil washing can reach the remediation targets quickly, but it essentially breaks down the soil. A longer amount of time is needed by assisted phytoextraction, but the soil quality was improved. The results provide a preliminary scenario for decision-makers and stakeholders to assess potential applicable technologies and a possible scheme to be applied in similar cases of polluted agricultural areas.
