Contamination of aquatic environments as a consequence of deep metal mining for Pb, Zn,
Cu, Cd, and Fe is of widespread international concern. Pollution resulting from metal mining …

Alkaline wastes have been the focus of many studies as they act as CO 2 sinks and have the
potential to offset emissions from mining and steelmaking industries. Passive carbonation of …

We assessed the relative performance of diatoms and macroinvertebrates to measure
municipal and industrial impacts on the ecological integrity of the three major rivers flowing …

Nitrate is an abundant pollutant in aquatic environments. Competition between the nitrate
reduction processes, denitrification, which converts nitrate into nitrogen gas, and …

In the present study, both water depletion and degradation in the life cycle of power
generation at coal-fired power plants in China are quantified using a mixed-unit input-output …

Globally, metals released by mine waste represent a challenge for protecting water quality
and ecosystems. Understanding metal dispersion in catchments is critical for developing …

Mining and ore excavation can cause the acidification and heavy metal pollution of
downstream water systems. It can be difficult to assess the load contributions from individual …

Quantifying diffuse sources of pollution is becoming increasingly important when
characterising river catchments in entirety–a prerequisite for environmental management …

Drainage from steel slag disposal sites can be extremely alkaline and a source of pollution
to surface and ground waters. Data is presented detailing the hydrogeochemistry of seven …

The mining industry needs community and regional governmental support to maintain its
current activities and, more importantly, to develop future projects. The failure to manage …
