By the second half of the last century, however, mining activity declined until final closure in the face of developing countries, owing to decreasing mineral resources and to metal price drop. In this book, the effects of former mine activities and the related environmental problems are discussed, with the ultimate goal of investigating the fate of potentially toxic elements in the environment and their impact on the conterminous land.Mining Engineering - Research and TechnologyAbandoned minesEnvironmental aspectsMine soilsEnvironmental aspectsAbandoned mined lands reclamationItalyCase studiesAbandoned minesEnvironmental aspects.Mine soilsEnvironmental aspects.Abandoned mined lands reclamation622.028/6Bini Claudio315793MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910955052403321Environmental impact of abandoned mine waste4474645UNINA
