The Role of Dissolved Organic Matter in Adsorbing Heavy Metals in Clay‐Rich Soils

Heavy metals (HMs) are toxic to human life and the environment when present in excessive concentrations. Therefore, determining the interactions of HMs with soils and dissolved organic matter (DOM) is essential to predict their fate. To find out the effect of DOM and soil properties (clay minerals,...
