The inventory of volatile elements in planetary bodies plays a critical role in the evolution of planets and their potential for harboring life (Hirschmann, 2006).In the inner Solar System, moderately volatile elements, such as Zn, are depleted compared to the bulk solar composition estimated from carbonaceous Ivuna-type (CI) chondrites and Ryugu samples (e.g., Lodders …
We assessed the quality of plant communities across a range of lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) soil concentrations at a variety of sites associated with Pb mining in southeast …

Impacts of lead/zinc mining and smelting on the environment and human health in China. Linsheng Yang. 2012, Environmental Monitoring and Assessment.
Mining and smelting are important economic activities. However, mining-related industries are also some of the largest sources of environmental pollution from heavy metals. China is one of the largest producers and consumers of lead and zinc in the world.
Why Material Stewardship matters to IZA. IZA as an association has no direct influence on production or use of zinc. In the above sense of practical material stewardship, IZAs role is to analyze impacts, interact with its member companies and with zinc users, and work with both towards a responsible and sustainable use of zinc and its associated resources.
The effects of the mining of lead – zinc mineralization on the environment of Enyingba, Southern Benue trough were examined. The samples used for this study were obtained from abandoned mine sites. ... Both the major river and their tributaries which form a network of narrow, meandering and feeder streams depicting a dendritic pattern of ...
Zinc (Zn) is considered an essential element with beneficial effects on plant cells; however, as a heavy metal, it may induce adverse effects on plants if its concentration exceeds a threshold.
Mining meant large amounts of rock were removed from underground, leaving caves. Sometimes this led to sinkholes. Imagine driving a tractor in a field and then having the tractor fall into a 6-foot hole that wasn't there yesterday. The zinc mines pumped millions of gallons of water out of the ground. This lowered the
Destructive mining operations are affecting large areas of natural ecosystems, especially in arid lands. The present study aims at investigating the impact of iron mine exploitation on vegetation and soil in Nodoushan (Yazd province, central …

Makurdi area. The aim of this investigation is to reveal the impact of lead-zinc mining and highlight the effects of lead-arsenic to human health. Fifty soil and stream samples were analyzed using the Inductively Coupled Plasma – Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) technique. The values for the concentrations of the three
Concentrations of selected trace elements in surface water and fluvial sediment were investigated as possible factors limiting the distribution and abundance of freshwater mussels in the Spring River Basin, a 6600 km 2 watershed overlapping a former Pb and Zn mining and ore processing district in the central USA. Mussel taxa richness surveys and …
The body uses zinc to process food and nutrients. When animals do not have enough zinc in their systems, they need to consume 50% more food to match the weight gain of an animal with enough zinc in its body. About 0.003% zinc is needed for proper health. Zinc is relatively non-reactive in air or water.
