Article Synopsis
- - The Mt. Avanza mine in Italy, known for its fahlore ore deposits, was studied to understand the geochemical behavior of elements like Hg, Sb, As, and Cu due to mining activities, focusing on their impact on solid and water environments, as well as atmospheric Hg.
- - Elevated levels of harmful elements were found in mine wastes, soils, and stream sediments, with contamination decreasing as distance from the mine increased; thallium and germanium were linked to natural geological components rather than mining byproducts.
- - While mine drainage water had some elevated concentrations of antimony and arsenic, the stable nature of tetrahedrite suggests lower risks, and mercury behavior was compared to known patterns in cinnabar mining
