Short summary
Minerals formed by weathering of toxic materials, of either natural or human origin, act as storage containers for toxic elements. In this work, we investigated properties of common minerals which store and release arsenic in the environment. The data presented here will allow for improved modeling of the polluted sites and for better remediation strategies that could be applied to minimize the impact of the pollution on the environment.
