| Abstract: | Arsenic (As) that is commonly found in sulfide mineralisation and is a recognised health hazard. Historical arsenic mining in S.E. Queensland has left a legacy of past activities requiring remediation together with a large number of cattle and sheep dip sites where the arsenical pesticides were used. A comparison with current mining practices shows a vast improvement in approach on how to understand the risks associated with managing and remediating arsenic-rich mine wastes. This is achieved by using an understanding of bioavailability. XANES spectra show how the composition of As forms can be related to the mining process that was applied. © 2012 Taylor & Francis Group. |
