Geochemical Assessment

Surface water is contaminated by trace elements in mining areas. A complex study was carried out on the state of water and bottom sediments of two rivers in the area of the tailings of Urupsky’s mining plant. The impact of tailings on the content of elements in the water, suspensions and bottom sediments was estimated. The main pollutants of the surface water and bottom sediments and also their element’s forms were revealed.

The City

Complex chemical-analytical and microbiological studies of the state of water, soil grounds and bottom sediment of the industrial zone of city of Khabarovsk were carried out. It was found that petroleum prodacts are the main environmental pollutant of the study area. The impact of runoff from the industrial zone on the quality of water and bottom sediments of the Amur river is manifested in an increase in their content and number of indicator groups of bacteria in the zone of impact of the small river Kurcha-Murcha draining the territory of the industrial zone. The oil content in the Kurcha-Murcha river at the exit from conduit is 20 MPC. The degree of soil contamination varies from “increased-background” to “strong”. The amount of oil products in the bottom sediments of the Kurcha-Murcha and the Amur river (below the mouth of the Kurcha-Murcha river) is defined as "dangerous" and "strong", respectively.

The composition and speciation of trace elements (Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Ni, Co, Mn, Fe, Ba, and Sr) in surface water and bottom sediments of the Pirogov water reservoir have been studied. It was found that the metal content in surface water does not exceed the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) for fishery water reservoir excluded Zn (2–9 MPC) and Cu (up to 2 MPC). According to results of thermodynamic calculations, the predominant metal speciation in water is the free ion (Sr, Ba, Zn, Ni, Co, Cd), fulvate (Cu) and carbonate (Pb) complex. The interstitial water is characterized by an increase in the content of sulfate complex of trace elements in loams, the solid phase of which is also characterized by slightly anomalous contents of Zn, Cd, Co, and Ni. According to data of sequential selective procedure, metals are predominantly immobilized in solid phase of bottom sediments in the crystal structure of silicates or bounded to iron and manganese oxides. Only for Cd and Mn exchangeable and bound to carbonates fractions are characterized by considerable relative contents.

The Impact

In order to further understand the impact of industrial mining on the environment, this study conducted environmental monitoring on the radionuclide thorium content in a water body in an industrial mining area in Gansu Province, aiming to fully understand the occurrence of radioactive map elements in the area and its impact on the local. The specific impact caused by the ecological environment. The results of this paper are as follows: In the water environment surveyed this time, surface water has the highest content of radioactive thorium at 0.2μg/L, and the lowest concentration of radioactive thorium in groundwater, with an average concentration of 0.04 μg/L. And with the depth of surface water sampling, there is a negative correlation between the content of thorium in the water. This research content can provide sufficient reference materials for the occurrence of thorium in the water in industrial mining areas, and is of great significance to the related research on radioactive elements in the water.

The Impact

Aims: To investigate and evaluate trace elements concentration in soils and bioaccumulation on food crops grown on agricultural fields around galena mine area, Wukari, north eastern Nigeria. Study Design: The studied area is situated in the northwestern part of Wukari Local Government Area of Taraba State, North-East Nigeria. The hydrology of the area is conducive for the cultivation of crops and fresh water for fishing. The soils and food crops samples were collected in the month of May, 2018. Methodology: Edible parts of plants such as leaf, stem and seed were collected from Soybeans (Glycine max), Guinea corn (Sorghum bicolor), Millet (Penniselum typhoides), Spinach (Amaranthus) and Tomato (Lycosipinus esculentum). A 1.00 g of the finely ground soil samples were digested with 10 mL of aqua regia (a mixture of 1:3 HNO3/HCl v/v) at 70°C on hot plate for 3 hours in a fume hood and 1.00 g of each sieved plant samples were digested with 10 mL mixture of HNO3: HCIO4 in the ratio 5:1 at 90°C for 30 minutes in a fume cupboard. Results: The concentrations (µg/g DW) of the trace elements in soil are in the order Mn > Fe > Se > Pb > Cr > Cu > Al > As. The bio-accumulation of trace elements in all food crops were in the range: Se (0.250 – 20.88 µg/g DW), Al (0.250 – 0.980 µg/g DW), As (0.070 – 0.620 µg/g DW) and Pb (0.020 – 0.090 µg/g DW). Cr, Cu, Pb, Mn concentrations in food crops were above FAO/WHO permissible limits of 2.30, 40.0, 0.30, 500 µg/g DW respectively. Conclusion: The Health Risk Index of As, Cr and Fe in spinach and Guinea corn were > 1. The study revealed that food crops grown on farmlands around mining areas are not safe for consumption.

Legal Perspective

Recent floods in Ghana are largely blamed on mining activities. Not only are lives lost through these floods, farms andproperties are destroyed as a result. Water resources are diverted, polluted and impounded upon by both large-scale minersand small-scale miners. Although these activities are largely blamed on behavioural attitudes that need to be changed, thereare legal dimensions that should be addressed as well. Coincidentally, a great proportion of the water resources of Ghana arewithin these mining areas thus the continual pollution of these surface water sources is a serious threat to the environmentand the development of the country as a whole. The environmental laws need to be oriented properly with adequate sanctionsto tackle the impacts mining has on water resources. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) procedure needs to bestreamlined and undertaken by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and not the company itself.

Surface And Groundwater

Carried out ecological and hygienic assessment of pollution of surface and groundwater of mining areas in the Republic of Bashkortostan. Revealed exceeding standards for fishery water bodies and drinking and cultural and community water use, which indicates the potential danger of surface water for the health of the region's population. The greatest relative contribution to the overall pollution of surface water bodies are making manganese (33,0–66,6 %), iron (9,1–15,6 %), calcium (6,5–11,7 %), lead (5,8– 7,2 %). The quality of water used for drinking purposes from decentralized water sources (boreholes, wells, springs), do not always correspond to the hygienic and sanitary-epidemiological requirements. In this case, the highest priority performance of drinking water contamination are increased stiffness, high content of iron, calcium, nitrate, presence cadmium, and hexavalent chromium.
