Effective remediation of polluted environments is a priority in
both Eastern and Western countries. In the U.S. and Europe,
remediation costs generally exceed the net economic value of the
land. As a result, scientists and engineers on both sides of the
Atlantic have aggressively tried to develop novel technologies to
meet regulatory standards at a fraction of the costs. In situ
remediation shows considerable promise from both technical and
economic perspectives. In situ technologies that deploy natural
attenuating agents such as humic substances (HS) may be even more
cost effective. Numerous studies have shown humics capable of
altering both the chemical and the physical speciation of the
ecotoxicants and in turn attenuate potential adverse environmental
repercussions. Furthermore, the reserves of inexpensive humic
materials are immense. Which suggests HS portend great promise as
inexpensive amendments to mitigate the environmental impacts of
ecotoxicants and as active agents in remediation. To elucidate
emerging concepts of humics-based remediation technologies, we
organized the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW), entitled "Use
of humates to remediate polluted environments: from theory to
practice," held on September 23-29, 2002 in Zvenigorod, Russia (see
the web-site http: //www.mgumus.chem.msu.ru/arw).
