“…Anaerobic environments where such dissolution may occur include UMT under soil and vegetative covers (see (Papanicolaou et al, 2010) for an analogous case with a phosphogypsum dump). Solubilized Ra may later be precipitated in barite or other solid sulfate phases such as jarosite [KFe 3 (SO 4 ) 2 (OH) 6 ]; both minerals are commonly found in oxic acid-mine drainage systems (e.g., (Jambor et al, 2000;Romano et al, 2010)).…”

“…This 210 Pb would likely be immobile in sulfate-reducing environments, as noted above. However Papanicolaou et al (2010) have noted the possible facilitated transport of colloid sized metal(II) sulfide particles as a possible mobilization mechanism for these elements.…”

“…This industry is usually located on coastal areas, whereas the waste is transported and deposited nearby, e.g., on redoxdynamic estuarine salt-marsh systems. Redox fluctuations affect the stability or leaching of phosphogypsum-related contaminants by controlling the oxidation states of many compounds (e.g., sulphur, iron and uranium) associated with these wastes and thus, their mobility (Papanicolaou et al, 2010). Large phosphogypsum disposal stacks could exhibit different redox gradients with depth as the upper unsaturated zones are likely to be subjected to oxidizing conditions, particularly in stacks supported directly on organic matter-rich marsh soils (Lottermoser, 2007;Pérez-López et al, 2011).…”
