Metal(loid) release from sulfide-rich wastes to the environment: The case of the Iberian Pyrite Belt (SW Spain)

Sulfide-mining wastes may lead to severe environmental and human health risks, especially challenging in abandoned mines without environmental regulation. This work is aimed at discussing the environmental problems associated with this type of wastes, the risks posed by metal(loid) exposure to livin...

description Sulfide-mining wastes may lead to severe environmental and human health risks, especially challenging in abandoned mines without environmental regulation. This work is aimed at discussing the environmental problems associated with this type of wastes, the risks posed by metal(loid) exposure to living organisms, as well as the measures available to mitigate such risks, taking the case of the Iberian Pyrite Belt (SW Iberian Peninsula), as an example, worldwide. The release of metal(loid)s from these wastes upon weathering is strongly controlled by mineral assemblage, processing technique, grain size distribution, and occurrence of highly reactive secondary minerals.
