متن کاملGeochemical and environmental assessment of heavy metals in soils and sediments of Forumad Chromite mine, NE of Iran
Heavy metal concentration in the soils and sediments has increased worldwide during the last century due to the mining, smelting, and industrial activities. The Forumad chromite deposit is located in the Sabzevar ophiolitic complex (SOC), with a long history of mining activities, yet very little is known about the heavy metal contamination in its surrounding environment. In this research work, ...
