Article Synopsis
- The petroleum industry produces various wastes that are often disposed of near well locations, leading to soil and water contamination.
- This study aimed to assess barium's solubility and its distribution in a contaminated site in Mato Rico, PR, by collecting soil samples at various depths.
- Findings revealed that while the top 0-30 cm had the largest contaminated area, the highest barium concentrations were actually found between 60-90 cm, with most barium being in a non-labile, low solubility form, indicating a low environmental risk.
