The distribution of labile Cd and Zn in two contrasting soils was investigated using isotopic exchange techniques and chemical extraction procedures. A sewage sludge amended soil from Great Billings (Northampton, UK) and an unamended soil of the Countesswells Association obtained locally (Aberdeen,...
