LIFE NARMENA - C1: monitoring sediment: passive samplers.

The EU Life project NARMANA investigates whether the impact of historical metal contamination can be reduced by using plants (phytoremediation). In metal-contaminated aquatic ecosystems, banks and newly created floodplains will be planted with certain plant species in order to reduce the possible toxicological effects of the metals. It is important to measure changes in the bioavailability of the metals in soil and water. In this project, the bioavailability of metals is measured with passive samplers in sediment and soil before and after the creation of floodplains.
