We found higher rainfall concentrations of I during the warmest months for all climates. However, no specific seasonal trend occurred for Se and Cs. On annual average, rainfall contained mostly unidentified selenium compounds (inorganic Se proportions = 25-54%) and equal proportions of inorganic and unidentified I compounds. Concentrations of iodate were higher under oceanic climate consistent with an iodine marine-origin.Remediation of soils contaminated with hydrocarbon materials is of particular importance due to their association with food chain. One of the remediation methods, which has been taken into account in recent years by researchers, is the electrokinetic technique. In this study, the electrokinetic method was used in combination with the Fenton technique to remove phenanthrene from clay soil. Oxidizing agent and catalyst used in the Fenton technique greatly influenced the efficiency of the remediation process. To investigate the effect of these two factors on the remediation process, it was made use of three different types of electrodes as catalyst, including graphite, iron, and copper, as well as hydrogen peroxide and sodium persulfate with different concentrations as oxidizing agent. During the 9 experiments designed, factors affecting removal efficiency, such as remediation time, electric current intensity, electroosmotic flow rate, and pH of the cathode and anode reservoirs were also investigated. Overall, the use of the electrokinetic-Fenton method with 15% hydrogen peroxide and copper electrode exhibited a 100% increase in the process efficiency over the same time period required to perform the conventional electrokinetic method and removed 93% of the soil phenanthrene, these findings indicated that combining
