Effects of soil amendments, including lime,activated carbon and lime-activated carbon, remedying Cr contaminated soil were studied and compared in a pot experiment growing pakchoi. Results show that the vegetable was chronically affected by Cr added into the soil, but this adverse effect could be counteracted by applying soil amendments, As a result, fresh weight of the plant increased. The addition of the soil amendments also significantly reduced Cr availability in the soil. Comparison revealed that among the three soil amendments, activated carbon was the best in the soil as compared with the use of other two. Therefore, activated carbon is highly recommended as a soil amendment remedying Cr contaminated soils.
