Abstract Vary heavy metals scattered in suspension loads and re-sedimentation from the tailing of the offshore-alluvial tin mining at Tanah Merah and its surroundings, Central Bangka Regency. Research is needed to determine the type, composition, spatial distribution of heavy metals, and potential pollution. The active surface-sediments were taken from shallow marine systematically around the offshore tin mining area in the east season. Geochemical analysis of sediment using x-ray fluorescence, coupled with minerals and sieve analysis, and support by spatial analysis. These sediments have dominant the sand-size (range very-fine sand to coarse sand) and silt, contained predominantly large quantities of quartz minerals and shell fragments of marine animals. The metals are in the following decreasing order: Cr>Zn>Pb>Ni>Cu>As>Co>Cd. The spatial distribution of heavy metals generally has a relatively south, east, and north position, with concentrations occurring along the coastline and showing the degradation composition towards the open sea. The marine sediments are uncontaminated to moderately contaminated by Cd and Pb, indicate both natural and anthropogenic enrichment, low the pollution load index (PLI), and have various potential ecological risks index (RI) (low to very high RI).

Artisanal and small gold mining activity in Wonogiri Regency has long been done with problems on environmental quality. This study was aimed to analyze the levels and spatial distribution of heavy metals in the mining area. Survey of  mining and amalgamation sites, sampling the soil and tailings had been conducted. There were 66 samples of soil and tailing were collected, analysis of heavy Fe, Mn, Pb, Hg, As and Co, using X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Normal distribution test of data was conducted using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro Wilk.  The spatial distribution of heavy metals was described using Krigging method. Contents of most heavy metals in the area studied were high, except for Co. According to the distribution pattern of heavy metals indicated that the contamination caused by the mining.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the phytoremediation potential promoted by Baccharis dracunculifolia DC. and Baccharis trimera (Less.) DC. incopper mining tailings area, Southern Brazil. The plants were selected considering their spontaneous growth on tailings. The phytoremediation indexes as a translocation factor (TF), bioconcentration factor (BCF), metal extraction ratio (MER) and plant effective number (PEN) were carried out. Both species showed higher concentration of heavy metals in the roots in relation to the shoots. B. trimera showed potential for phytoextraction of Zn, Cd, Cr, Pb and phytostabilization of Ba and Ni, whereas B. dracunculifolia showed potential for phytoextraction Pb and phytostabilization of Cu, Zn, and Ba. B. trimera showed higher potential in phytoremediation of the metals Cu > Zn > Cr > Ni and Cd than the B. dracunculifolia. B. trimera requires a smaller number of plants to remove 1 g of Cu, Zn, Cr, Pb, Niand Cd than the B. dracunculifolia. The values of PENs for Cu were close to those estimated for B. dracunculifolia, but the PENs (Cu) and PENt (Cu) in B. trimera are much lower, meaning that a smaller number of plants are required for decontamination. Both species showed potential for phytoremediation of metals and grew spontaneously in the tailing mining area.
