Research progress on geogenic-contaminated high ammonium groundwater by Yao DU, Yaojin XIONG, Yamin DENG, Yanxin WANG

“…Based on two typical case studies, it is clarified that the evolution of macroscopic depositional environments controls the abundance/bio-availability of buried organic matter and thus results in the formation of high-ammonium groundwater through mineralization, whereas the molecular composition of natural organic matter and its degradation pathway at the microscale play a major role in controlling the transport and enrichment of ammonium in groundwater. …”
