The increasing generation of toxic heavy metals from smelting activities poses significant
threat to food safety, human health, and soil ecosystem, due to their unacceptable exposure …

Smelting activities pose serious environmental problems due to the local and regional heavy
metal pollution in soils they cause. It is therefore important to understand the pollution …

Heavy metals (HMs) pollution is a universal and complex problem at lead smelting sites.
Further understanding on the distribution, coexistence relationship and occurrence form of …

This paper presents the latest overview of the environmental impact of wastes from the non-
ferrous metallurgical industry. Ashes, slags and dusts–by-products from mining and metal …

Mining activities, as essential components of industrial development, play a crucial role in
the economy. However, they often entail significant environmental consequences, notably …

This review summarizes over 160 studies focused on soil contamination near non-ferrous
metal smelters. The methods of these investigations were examined with an emphasis on …

Anthropologic activities have transformed global biogeochemical cycling of heavy metals by
emitting considerable quantities of these metals into the atmosphere from diverse sources …

The increasing demand for minerals pressurizing the mining authorities to extract low-grade
ore results in more mining waste and degradation of the environment. The main aim of …

Soil heterogeneity makes the vertical distribution of metal (loid) s in site soil vary
considerably and poses a challenge for identifying the key factors of metal (loid) s migration …

Communities in low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC) are disproportionally
affected by industrial pollution compared to more developed nations. This study evaluates …
