Mining operations generate sediment erosion rates above those of natural landscapes, causing persistent contamination floodplains. Riparian vegetation in mine-impacted river catchments plays a key role the storage/remobilization metal contaminants. Mercury (Hg) pollution from mining is global environmental challenge. This study provides an integrative assessment Hg storage riparian trees and soils along Paglia River (Italy) which drains abandoned Monte Amiata district, 3rd former producer worldwide, to characterize their as potential secondary source atmosphere case wildfire or upon anthropic utilization biomass.

Abstract From 2011 to 2019, mercury (Hg) stores and fluxes were studied in the small forested catchment Lesní potok (LES) central Czech Republic using watershed mass balance approach together with internal measurements. Mean input of Hg via open bulk deposition, beech throughfall spruce during periodwere 2.9, 3.9 7.6 μg m −2 year −1 , respectively. These values considerably lower than corresponding deposition reported early years 21st century from catchments Germany.

Thus, only ~2% exported stream runoff. Stream water weakly related dissolved organic carbon (DOC) but both concentrations positively correlated temperature. total soil pool averaged 47.5 mg 4% O‐horizon.

We assessed total mercury (THg) concentrations and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in pristine managed hemiboreal peatlands Latvia, aiming to identify environmental factors that potentially affect their variation. The THg soil ranged from <1 µg kg−1 194.4 kg−1. No significant differences between disturbed undisturbed were found, however, the upper layer sites had significantly higher concentration.

Former industrially contaminated sites are a burden from the past that still pose environmental risks. During second half of 20th century, Pavlodar region in North Kazakhstan had been part Soviet Union’s industrial system operated chlor-alkali plant (CAP). The former CAP discharged approximately 135 t Hg into nearby Lake Balkyldak with total losses to water, soil, and air estimated around 1000 t. Pollution by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) due currently active enterprises is an under-investigated concern region. present study aims provide much-needed update on situation area evaluating contamination other selected PTEs (As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Zn) surrounding environment urban zone.
