Tracing contamination sources in soils with Cu and Zn isotopic ratios Fekiacova, Z.1, Cornu, S.1, Pichat, S.2 1 INRA, UR 1119 Géochimie des Sols et des Eaux, F-13100 Aix en Provence, France 2 Laboratoire de Géologie de Lyon (LGL-TPE), Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, CNRS, UMR 5276, 69007 Lyon, France Abstract Copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) are naturally present and ubiquitous in soils and are im- portant micronutrients. Human activities contribute to the input of these metals to soils in dif- ferent chemical forms, which can sometimes reach a toxic level for soil organisms and plants. Isotopic signatures could be used to trace sources of anthropogenic Cu and Zn pollution.
