Mercury (Hg) concentrations and Hg phases were investigated in contaminated sediments flooded soils the drainage area of Idrija mine, Slovenia. The main aim this study was analytical separation quantification cinnabar (HgS) noncinnabar compounds by mining residues. Separation performed means a solid-phase-Hg-thermo-desorption technique complemented selective extraction organically bound Hg. Speciation measurements indicate occurrence two major forms: primary ore an unspecified group...
Abstract This paper provides an overview of the physical and chemical landscape changes that have occurred at four reference sites due to historical mining smelting activities within Slovenia, their comparison with similar around World. Literature review has been made intention identify major pollutant sources, its dispersion control factors, effects. The are Idrija, more than 500‐year Hg ore history, Meža Valley, also a PbZn Celje area where Zn was smelted for 100 years Drava River...
Mining waste deposits (MWDs) represent significant and constant pollution source for the environment worldwide, thus it is very important to identify diminish their environmental impacts. The aim of this study was determine long-term impacts temporal variations MWDs in Pb-Zn mining districts Slovenia assess stability potentially harmful element (PHE)-bearing phases stream water. results showed that investigated are PHEs sediments mostly occur as fine-grained liberated PHE-bearing ore...
Household, attic, and street dust were sampled analysed in the influential area of cement plant located Anhovo, Slovenia. The aim work is to determine geochemical properties three types dust, which are result geogenic factors, past current influences plant, other factors. study covered settlements Morsko, Deskle, Ložice, Gorenje Polje, Goljevica, Ravna, Krstenica, Kanal Bodrež. levels arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), manganese (Mn),...
The climate change and related phenomena is one of the biggest challenges today’s civilisation. data shows an upward trend occurrence meteorological, hydrological, climatic worldwide, with largest increase observed in extreme hydrological phenomena, such as floods mass movement. Intense rainfall resulting can lead to erosion transport large amount natural anthropogenic material thus influencing spatial distribution chemical elements on Earth surface. redistribution potentially...
A regional geochemical survey was conducted, covering the entire territory of Slovenia. Medium-density soil sampling performed in a 5 × km grid, mercury concentrations were analysed and map spatial distribution constructed. The determined revealed an important difference between western eastern parts country. huge anomaly part is consequence environmental contamination due to 500-year history mining ore processing Idrija mine partly Hg containing rocks on outcrops. Slightly elevated...
