Abstract

Italian law concerning the remediation of polluted areas forces the responsible party of the contamination to provide the complete characterization of the site, the project and the operative tasks for cleaning up soils and waters. In this context, determining the origin of pollution is mandatory for a correct approach to the whole remediation process. Our research group has been studying for two years the problem of Arsenic pollution in the area of an industrial plant for the production of sulphuric acid (SA) from pyrite roasting. The plant is located in a former wetland, in Scarlino, southwest of Tuscany. Horizontal
