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) ...

Compost-assisted phytostabilization has recently emerged as a robust alternative for reclamation of metalliferous mine tailings. Previous studies suggest that root-associated microbes may be important for facilitating plant establishment on the tailings, yet little is known about the long-term dynamics of microbial communities during reclamation. A mechanistic understanding of microbial communi...

This paper analyzes the coal mine of things to be solved key technical problems in order to improve things in the coal mine the diagnostic accuracy of fan failure, the use of mechanical failure analysis UCI database data sets for analysis. According to the coal mine of things to determine the characteristics of the fan through the vertical amplitude of the frequency, the base rate of vertical v...

introduction due to mining, considerable amounts of heavy metal bearing mineralsare scattered in the atmosphere in the form of dust and make the surrounding air, water and soils polluted.runoff water movingfrom the mountainstowardsplains may also transport heavy metals from mines to the soils.one type ofpollutions is contamination withheavy metals.the purpose of the present research has been to...

Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) was grown with inoculation of four indigenous AM fungal species in presence of different levels of mine spoil under green house conditions. The growth parameters such as biomass production, grain yield, per cent root infection and number of viable AM fungal spores in the rhizosphere of the mycorrhizal proso millet grown with 25% mine spoil were higher over th...

The focus of this paper is effective health education and promotion in the field of mine awareness, or what has more recently been re-titled 'mine risk education'. According to the United Nations, mine risk education comprises educational activities that aim to reduce the risk of injury from landmine/unexploded ordnance (UXO) through raising awareness and promoting behavioural change and includ...

Mine planning, permitting and operation require reliable water technology in all its aspects: water inflow, water use, water disposal and discharge, and water impact. Mine water evaluations are relied upon by mining companies, mine regulators and the public to determine whether the mine is technically feasible, optimally designed, financially sound, socially acceptable, and environmentally beni...

all steps of a mining project generally disturb the environment'soriginal condition during construction. therefore, it is crucial toimplement an appropriate mine reclamation plan throughout all mineplanning stages from sustainable and environmental point of view.planting the suitable plant species in each step of any reclamationplan and each area is one of the necessities in this respect.select...

The aim of the study is to assess the evolving mine water quality of closed uranium mines (abandoned between 1958 and 1992) in the Czech Republic. This paper focuses on the changes in mine water quality over time and spatial variability. In 2010, systematic monitoring of mine water quality was performed at all available locations of previous uranium exploitation. Gravity flow discharges (mine a...
