| Short description: |
The purpose of this Issue Paper is to provide
scientists and engineers responsible for assessing remediation
technologies with background information on MNA processes at
mining-impacted sites. Some of the key issues concerning the
application of natural attenuation for inorganic contaminants
are discussed, such as the geochemical mechanisms responsible
for attenuation, attenuation capacity, monitoring parameters,
and evaluating whether attenuated metal and metalloid
contaminants will remain immobile
