Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the distribution of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) like Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, and others in soils near the Sarala gold-ore group in Khakassia, Russia, focusing on their health risks due to past mining activities.
  • High concentrations of PTEs were detected, particularly mercury (Hg) and arsenic (As), posing moderate to significant ecological risks, with arsenic identified as a carcinogen for both adults and children.
  • The research highlights the sources of soil pollution, indicating that waste tailings are the most significant contributors, and provides critical data to inform state-level decisions on managing contaminated land.

Below is data on the microbial diversity in bottom sediments and microbial mats in water bodies within the Kurai Mercury Province (Ulagan District, Aktash village, Gorny Altai). A database on the geochemical features of water bodies in the study area is presented. Data was obtained using 16 s rRNA amplicon directed metagenomic sequencing on Illumina MiSeq.

Below is data on the microbial diversity of natural organic matter from the Dispersion Train of Sulfide Tailings (northern Salaire Ridge, southwestern Siberia, Russia, Ursk Village). Data was obtained using 16s rRNA amplicon directed metagenomic sequencing on Illumina MiSeq. The raw sequence data used for analysis is available in NCBI under the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) with BioProject No.

Natural organic matter (NOM) within the dispersion train of Novo-Ursk tailings (Salair Ridge, Kemerovo region, Russia) is composed of remnant sedge peat mounds and is located either on the surface or is buried under cyanide wastes. The organic material interacts with AMD and with the wastes, which leaves imprint on its composition. This interaction produces geochemical anomalies (g/t: 1582 Cu, 41,300 Zn, 6060 Se, 11,700 Hg, 114-155 Au, 534 Ag, 416 I).

Gold-bearing polymetallic Cu-Zn deposits of sulphur-pyrite ores were discovered in the Novo-Ursk region in the 1930s. The average content of mercury (Hg) was approximately 120 μg/g at the time. A comprehensive study of Hg distribution in waste of metal ore enrichment industry was carried out in the cold season on the tailing dump site and in adjacent areas.
