ABSTRACT A significant portion of the current knowledge regarding the use of iron nanoparticles for remediating metal-contaminated soils is derived from laboratory experiments, leaving several unanswered questions. This article presents a field experiment comparing the efficacy of magnetite nanoparticles and microparticles for the immobilization of metals and the growth of plants in metal-contaminated soils. This study aimed to investigate the effects of magnetite particle size on metal immobilization and plant growth in soils exposed to airborne pollution from the Middle-Urals […]
