Short and Long Term Environmental Effects of Marine Tailings and Waste Rock Disposal from a Lead I Zinc Mine in Greenland
During its active operation from 1973 to 1990 the Black Angel Mine in West Greenland disposed its tailings in seawater slurry to a fjord. During the disposal between 10 and 30 tons of lead and between 30 and 55 tons of zinc dissolved annually in the receiving sea water. This resulted in a significant pollution of the surrounding marine environment. Other pollution sources, particularly waste ro...
متن کاملInfluence of benthic macrofauna community shifts on ecosystem functioning in shallow estuaries
*Correspondence: Erik Kristensen, Department of Biology, University of Southern Denmark, Campusvej 55, 5230 Odense, Denmark e-mail: [email protected] We aim at identifying how ecosystem functioning in shallow estuaries is affected by rapid shifts in benthic fauna communities. We use the shallow estuary, Odense Fjord, Denmark, as a case study to test our hypotheses that (1) shifts in benthic fa...
متن کاملMetagenome Sequence of a Microbial Community from the Gold Mine Tailings in the Kuzbass Area, Russia
The metagenome of a microbial community of the sediments from a highly acidic iron-rich puddle at the tailings dump of the Komsomolskaya gold mine in the Kuzbass area, Siberia, Russia, was sequenced. Binning of contigs yielded a near-complete genome of the dominant bacterium, representing a novel deep lineage of Deltaproteobacteria.
متن کاملContamination by trace elements of agricultural soils around Sidi Bou Othmane in abandoned mine tailings in Marrakech, Morocco
This study was carried out for the purpose of investigating the issue of tailings dams as a potential source of contamination by trace elements in soils at the Sidi Bou Othmane mine in the Marrakech Region, Morocco. Soil samples taken from depths of up to 15 cm and within a radius of 50 m from the tailings dams, were analyzed for Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn using atomic absorption spectrometry. Average c...
متن کاملCYANIDE DISTRIBUTION IN THE STREAM SEDIMENTS AND TAILINGS AT THE BONFIM (W-Aa-Bi-Te) MINE, NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL
At the Bonfim mine, cyanide processing used to extract gold from abandoned tailings represents an important environmental concern. In order to evaluate cyanide concentrations, twenty samples of sediments of the main streams crossing the mine site, and ten samples of the five mainly tailings were analyzed for total cyanide. Cyanide was found in two samples of tailings (0.83 and 1.44mg/Kg of tota...
