| Popis: | Gardening provides a wide range of benefits to urban residents but may also increase risks of exposure to contaminants in soils. Here we evaluate the use of clean excavated glacial sediments and locally produced compost, to create soils for urban gardens in New York City, NY, USA. The objectives of this study are to examine contaminants in compost and manufactured soil, assess safety of produce, and evaluate the agronomic value of soil mixes with different ratios of sediment and compost. Methods of analysis include quantifying metal/metalloid concentrations in sediments, composts, and plant tissues, soil agronomic parameters (pH, salinity, organic matter, total nitrogen, total carbon), and crop yield. Contaminant levels in sediments from the New York City Clean Soil Bank (CSB) ( |
