Health survey among people living near an abandoned mine. A case study: Jales mine, Portugal.
UNLABELLED Campo de Jales is a village surrounding the abandoned Jales mine. The area is heavily contaminated with heavy metals and dusts from large tailings piles as result of centuries of mining operations. The aim of this study is to investigate potential health threats associated with site contamination. The population studied comprised two groups: people living in Campo de Jales (n = 229) ...
متن کاملPlants from the abandoned Nacozari mine tailings: evaluation of their phytostabilization potential
Phytostabilization is a remediation technology that uses plants for in-situ stabilization of contamination in soils and mine tailings. The objective of this study was to identify native plant species with potential for phytostabilization of the abandoned mine tailings in Nacozari, Sonora in northern Mexico. A flora of 42 species in 16 families of angiosperms was recorded on the tailings site an...
متن کاملImpacts of Transgenic Plants and Micro- Organisms on Soil Biota
Little is known about the impacts of transgenic plants and micro-organisms on soil biota and processes, despite the large number of field releases of transgenic crops. Recent work has shown that transgenic plants can cause changes in the soil biota (both invertebrates and micro-organisms) associated with these plants. Often the changes are transient but their impact on the soil ecosystem remain...
متن کاملHeavy metal impact on bacterial biomass based on DNA analyses and uptake by wild plants in the abandoned copper mine soils.
The metals contamination in surface soils and their accumulation in wild plants from the abandoned Burra and Kapunda copper mines located in South Australia were assessed, and the predominant bacterial diversity in the contaminated surface soils from these two abandoned copper mine sites were evaluated through polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) analysis...
متن کاملevolution of soil contamination in the abandoned lakan lead and zinc mine by heavy metals, iran
soil contamination in the vicinity of the abandoned lakan lead and zinc mine was studied. the results showed that over the past decades, the environmental pollution was caused by lead, zinc tailings dam and acid mine drainage. the average of lead, zinc, cadmium, copper and nickel is 1295, 4273, 27, 185 and 92 mg/kg, respectively in the soils of tailings dam. these metals were continuously dispe...
