Examination and Assessment of the Environmental Health of a Non-Acid Mining Drainage Site


 The overall aim of this undergraduate research was to quantify and identify trends within the bacterial environment at a non-acid mining drainage site in Lumberport, West Virginia, United States, due iron aluminum contamination. As environmental impact metal contaminants acid has been concern for decades, project is an excellent attempt assess whether filtration methods are local standards, raise awareness potential hazards contaminants, discover detrimental effects general. Through community-level profiling multi-parameter analysis, percent functional diversity variation populations were quantified, as well pH temperature throughout 8 collection points different proximities from direct drainage. It determined that drainage, increases, increases.
