Research on the evolution of pollution induced by the physical and chemical processing activities metalliferous ores

In the project were performed seasonal campaigns investigating the environmental quality of soil and water components (underground and surface) in the areas of activities processing of metal ores which have
resulted in the creation of a database consisting of values relevant indicators - heavy metals. Establishing the evolution in time of heavy metal contamination of environmental components in the area analyzed and quantifying the impact induced by the activities carried out in the area allowed the identification of hot spots of heavy metal pollution
