Environmental contamination characteristics of heavy metals from abandoned lead–zinc mine tailings in China

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
China holds large-scale lead–zinc mineral resources; however, mining activities often cause severe contamination by heavy metals. This study systemically assessed contamination by eight heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Cr, Hg, Ni, and As) in mine tailings ...
