Metagenomic investigation of the microbial diversity in a chrysotile asbestos mine pit pond, Lowell, Vermont, USA
Here we report on a metagenomics investigation of the microbial diversity in a serpentine-hosted aquatic habitat created by chrysotile asbestos mining activity at the Vermont Asbestos Group (VAG) Mine in northern Vermont, USA. The now-abandoned VAG Mine on Belvidere Mountain in the towns of Eden and Lowell includes three open-pit quarries, a flooded pit, mill buildings, roads, and > 26 million ...
متن کاملArsenic species in weathering mine tailings and biogenic solids at the Lava Cap Mine Superfund Site, Nevada City, CA
BACKGROUND A realistic estimation of the health risk of human exposure to solid-phase arsenic (As) derived from historic mining operations is a major challenge to redevelopment of California's famed "Mother Lode" region. Arsenic, a known carcinogen, occurs in multiple solid forms that vary in bioaccessibility. X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy (XAFS) was used to identify and quantify...
متن کاملRaman spectroscopy of efflorescent sulfate salts from Iron Mountain Mine Superfund Site, California.
The Iron Mountain Mine Superfund Site near Redding, California, is a massive sulfide ore deposit that was mined for iron, silver, gold, copper, zinc, and pyrite intermittently for nearly 100 years. As a result, both water and air reached the sulfide deposits deep within the mountain, producing acid mine drainage consisting of sulfuric acid and heavy metals from the ore. Particularly, the draina...
متن کاملGeochemical Processes Affecting the Mobility of Dissolved Selenium in Surface Coal Mine Backfill Environments
During surface Fadlelmawla', K.J. Reddf, and G.F. Vance3 coal mining, rock material overlying the coal is redistsibuted with respect to its original stratigraphic position. Oxidation of the redistributed backfill material may release dissolved selenium (Se) to groundwater in backfill systems. This study was initiated to examine the chemistry of Se in the groundwater backfill environment. Both b...
متن کاملNatural Recovery of PCB-Contaminated Sediments at the Sangamo-Weston/Lake Hartwell Superfund Site
The goal of this study was to investigate and identify natural recovery processes responsible for the recovery of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated sediments at Lake Hartwell, SC. Ten sediment cores were collected from predetermined transect locations. Cores were analyzed by depth for Pb, Cs, and PCBs. Pb and Cs were used to date sediments in order to determine sediment accumulation r...
