Investigating mineral dust emitted from mining activities enables the assessment of environmental risks posed by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) and the discrimination of geochemical fingerprints characteristic of distinct operational settings. Acc...
Covering mine tailings with uncontaminated soil is a common strategy to mitigate environmental impacts and promote ecosystem recovery during post-mining land reclamation. Topsoil is often stockpiled for future use as a capping layer, but prolonged st...
The Asteraceae plant family includes the most widespread weedy invaders in Europe, which may jointly inhibit natural succession in degraded land under restoration. The complex local drivers of co-invasions hinder remote sensing (RS) monitoring effort...

The Amazon is recognized not only for its vast biodiversity and territorial extent but also for the significant mineral riches it harbors. This potential has intensified small-scale illegal and informal gold mining, a practice often employed without ...
Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
May 5, 2025
The introduction of rare earth elements (REEs) and precious metals (PMs) containing wastes in aged landfills leads to a significant pollutant and resource potential. Against this backdrop, the accumulation of REEs and PMs in soil-like-fractions (SLF)...
Accurate elemental analysis is a critical requirement for mineral exploration, particularly in regions like Iran, where the mining sector has experienced a substantial increase in exploration activities over the past decade. Inductively Coupled Plasm...
