Abstract

Because pyrite oxidation increases the aqueous concentrations of sulphate and trace metals and also modifies the pH, it can significantly affect groundwater quality. This study focuses on the occurrence and effects of denitrification in 1996 and 2006 at Oostrum, the Netherlands. Results shows denitrification coupled to pyrite oxidation as the main pathway removing nitrate from groundwater in the agricultural area and the compositional trends are similar over a 10-year period, although the nitrate concentrations dropped due to decreasing fertilizer input. In contrast, in the forested area the concentrations of pollutants (nitrate, chloride and trace metals) have risen since 1996, as a result of contaminated groundwater flow originating from the agricultural area.
