The problem of hazardous chemicals in geothermal fluid is a critical environmental concern
in geothermal energy developments. Boron is among the hazardous contaminants reported …

Naturally occurring minerals or their synthetic analogues have been important as pigments
used in artistic and cosmetic contexts in global antiquity. The analysis and identification of …

Geothermal fluids and volcanic emissions are important sources of arsenic (As), resulting in
elevated concentrations of As in ground-, surface-water and soil, which may adversely affect …

The geochemistry of trace elements in surface geothermal fluids in Iceland was studied. The
sampled fluids included hot springs, mud pots, steam vents and soil solutions with …

Groundwater resources in the Pannonian Basin (Hungary, Romania, Croatia and Serbia)
