Abstract
In this study we investigate the influence of humic acid on the migration of trace metals Fe Ca Mg Cu Sr Zn in the saturated subsurface medium Migration study was carried out in a specially fabricated soil column The results of this study demonstrate that presence of humic acid in the colloidal form play a key role in mobility of trace metals in aquatic subsurface medium Migration of elements like Fe Ca Mg Cu were facilitated by the presence of the humus colloids whereas presence of Zn Sr in the hydrated form was evident from the experimental results The observation was explained based on the linear attenuation coefficient LAC
