In this thesis we studied the effects of Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) compounds in Finnish forest ecosystems. The research site was located in Hartola, southern Finland. Between 1958 and 1966, there was a small wood impregnation plant which used the so-called Lahontuho K-33 impregnating agent. The aim of this thesis is to use a combination of applied bioassays, uptake and elimination kinetics and binary mixture toxicity experiments to gain better understanding of the bioavailability of Cu, Cr and As and their potential eco(toxico)logical risk at the Hartola site. This approach fits the TRIAD method, which uses a combination of chemical analyses, bioassays and field observations to assess the actual risk of contaminated soils. The thesi...
