Abstract
Certain exemplary embodiments provide methods for reducing a concentration of a contaminant associated with a medium, which can be any substance or material, such as soil, water, air, and/or fluid. In one exemplary method, the medium is treated with a ferric chelate and an oxidizing agent in amounts effective to oxidize at least a portion of the contaminant.

A composition of matter comprising:
- ferric gluconate, wherein all chelation sites of the ferric gluconate are saturated with ferric ion, and wherein a concentration of the ferric ion is between 3570 ppm and 22,200 ppm;
- and
- an oxidizing agent selected from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide and ozone;
- wherein the ferric gluconate and the oxidizing agent are mixed while in contact with a medium or before being applied to the medium.
