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. 410 0$aMining Engineering - Research and Technology 606 $aAbandoned mines$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aMine soils$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aAbandoned mined lands reclamation$zItaly$vCase studies 615 0$aAbandoned mines$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aMine soils$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aAbandoned mined lands reclamation 676 $a622.028/6 700 $aBini$b Claudio$0315793 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955052403321 996 $aEnvironmental impact of abandoned mine waste$94474645 997 $aUNINA
