This paper reports on results from a multi-sampling campaign (stack, fugitive emissions and
ambient air measurements) to characterise the geochemical signature of metal and …

Mining operations, including crushing, grinding, smelting, refining, and tailings
management, are a significant source of airborne metal and metalloid contaminants such as …

National and international concern about the health effects and continued use of Pb, Cd, As
and Hg as well as other metals has defined a need for improved estimates of the long-term …

In this study, we present the levels and chemical composition of PM10 and PM2. 5 from an
urban background monitoring station to assess the impact of Cu-smelter emission plumes …

Mining operations are potential sources of airborne metal and metalloid contaminants
through both direct smelter emissions and wind erosion of mine tailings. The warmer, drier …

Activities associated with mining operations including smelting, ore handling, and mine
tailings management have been identified as sources of dust and aerosol that may contain …

Heavy metal emissions from non-ferrous smelting plants have been a rising concern.
However, their emission characteristics were still unclear. In this study, the concentrations …

To better understand the transport of particles emitted from industrial sources, a research
aircraft was flown in the plume of the Horne Copper Smelter in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec …

Resuspended street dust is a source of inhalable particles in urban environments. Despite
contaminated street dust being a possible health risk factor for local population, little is …
