The study found no groundwater contamination or soil - fertility decline after three years, while the
presence of trace metals remained low.
Dr. Jackson's interests are in the biogeochemistry and environmental fate
of trace metals in the environment with a focus on human exposure.
They also had lower
amounts of trace metals and organic contaminants than blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) collected from the seafloor nearby.
He found the microbe thriving directly on spacecraft surfaces, presumably drawing its energy from
ions of trace metals like aluminum and titanium.
Modulation of the
efficiency of trace metal phytoremediation by Sedum plumbizincicola by microbial community structure and function — Jinyu Hou — Plant and Soil
In the field of chemical oceanography it has been found impact the
speciation of trace metals that are both critical for life at low levels and toxic at higher levels.
