Early atmospheric metal pollution provides evidence for Chalcolithic/Bronze Age mining and metallurgy in Southwestern Europe.
Although archaeological research suggests that mining/metallurgy already started in the Chalcolithic (3rd millennium BC), the earliest atmospheric metal pollution in SW Europe has thus far been dated to ~3500-3200 cal.yr. BP in paleo-environmental archives. A low intensity, non-extensive mining/metallurgy and the lack of appropriately located archives may be responsible for this mismatch. We ha...
متن کامل4,500-year-old Mining Pollution in Southwestern Spain: Long-term Implications for Modern Mining Pollution
The Tinto river drains the Rio Tinto mining district, which comprises the world’s largest known massive sulfide deposits; these orebodies have been mined from the third millenium BC to the present. The Tinto river is strongly acidic (pH, 1.5–2.5); during flood events, it transports a sandy material, including abundant detrital pyrite grains. A core drilled in the Holocene sediments of the Tinto...
متن کاملExtensive regional atmospheric hydrocarbon pollution in the southwestern United States.
Light alkane hydrocarbons are present in major quantities in the near-surface atmosphere of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas during both autumn and spring seasons. In spring 2002, maximum mixing ratios of ethane [34 parts per 109 by volume (ppbv)], propane (20 ppbv), and n-butane (13 ppbv) were observed in north-central Texas. The elevated alkane mixing ratios are attributed to emissions from the oi...

detail exactly how sparse medical care was in Scotland. Even if it were available, the authors show that the stringency of the Scottish Poor Law may have denied access to it. One of their tables (9.B) "shows how much was actually spent on doctors per head of the population on the poor roll. The Scottish average was £0.0 154, or no more than 3.d per pauper per year in the old money" (p. 217). Th...
