Direct or indirect exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) in the forms of AsIII (arsenite) and AsV
(arsenate) through consumption of As-contaminated food materials and drinking water leads …

Information on arsenic (As) speciation in solid materials is critical for many environmental
studies concerned with As stability and/or mobility in natural As-impacted soils and mining or …

Historical mining and mineral processing at the former Giant Mine (Yellowknife, NT,
Canada) created an enduring legacy of arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) contamination …

The labyrinthine world of arsenic minerals has piqued the curiosity of many researchers in
mineralogy, geochemistry, chemistry, and environmental sciences. Arsenic was known to …

This paper investigates the dynamics between basalt weathering and heavy metal
accumulation through a comparative study of 37 small basaltic watersheds within different …

Naturally contaminated soil, sediment and water at the Mokrsko-West gold deposit, Central
Bohemia, have been studied in order to determine the processes that lead to release of As …

It is widely accepted that the use of total metal concentrations in soil overestimates metal risk
from human ingestion of contaminated soils. In vitro simulators have been used to estimate …

Abstract The Pinhal do Souto mine exploited a quartz vein containing uranium minerals,
mainly autunite and torbernite. This vein intersects a two-mica granite containing 10 ppm U …

The bioaccessibility of arsenic and its speciation are two important factors in assessing
human health risks exposure to contaminated soils. However, the effects of human gut …

World copper (Cu) production has been strongly affected by arsenic (As) content, because
As-rich Cu concentrates are not desirable in the metal foundries. When As-rich Cu …
