Acid Sulphate Soils

Acid sulfate soils are an intricate world, where the natural presence of iron sulfides, particularly "pyrite," holds a hidden potential. When exposed to oxygen, these unassuming compounds can generate sulfuric acid, a potent agent that can infiltrate its surroundings. The consequences are profound, ranging from potential infrastructure deterioration to the leaching of iron, aluminium, and heavy metals into local water systems. The ripple effect extends to socio-economic and environmental realms, unleashing both short-term and enduring impacts.
