“…These changes may cause an increase in the bulk electrical conductivity of contaminated soil that is detectable by geophysical methods such as Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) [16,19,20]. These techniques play a crucial role in assessing and understanding the extent and nature of groundwater contamination, enabling effective mitigation strategies and resource management [21,22]. However, choosing the optimal geophysical method that meets the purpose of a project sometimes is challenging and may dictate the success or failure of the subsurface imaging [23,24].…”

The effective detection and monitoring of mining tailings’ leachates (MTLs) plays a pivotal role in environmental protection and remediation efforts. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is a non-invasive technique widely employed for mapping subsurface contaminant plumes. However, the efficacy of ERT depends on selecting the optimal electrode array for each specific case. This study addresses this challenge by conducting a comprehensive review of published case studies utilizing ERT to characterize mining tailings. Through numerical simulations, we compare the imaging capabilities of commonly used electrode configurations, six ERT arrays, aiming to identify the optimal array for MTLs’ detection and monitoring. In addition, field surveys employing ERT were conducted at the El Mochito mine tailings site to detect zones saturated with leachates within the tailing storage facilities (TSFs). The findings indicate that the “Wenner-Schlumberger” array exhibits superior data resolution for MTL detection. However, the choice of the optimal electrode array is contingent on factors such as survey location, geological considerations, research objectives, data processing time and cost, and logistical constraints. This study serves as a practical guide for selecting the most effective electrode array in the context of pollutant penetration from mining tailings, employing the ERT technique. Furthermore, it contributes valuable insights into characterizing zones saturated with mining tailing leachates within the TSFs, providing a solid foundation for informed environmental management and remediation strategies.

“…Water plays a keystone role in the world economy and retains the living standards of all biota. It covers 71% of earth surface, of which 96.5% covers the saline water, while 1.7% is only available as fresh water which is also on the urge of depletion by the addition of toxic chemicals, agricultural runoff, heavy metals and many more effluents from varied industries (Chandnani et al, 2022). Among all these, dumping of untreated sewage water into waterways due to insufficient sewage treatment plants is one of the most hazardous activities since it diminishes the water quality of fresh water available on Earth.…”

“…The increase in anthropogenic action in the environment significantly increases the demand for water, energy, and infrastructure (Voumik and Sultana, 2022). Therefore, these activities have left marks on the planet, resulting in increased air, soil, and water contamination from industrial, commercial, radioactive, and agricultural sources (Chandnani et al, 2022). Over the decades, industrial activity has produced gaseous, liquid, and solid substrates harmful to the environment, causing a worrying look at water contamination, considering that heavy metals are found adsorbed to this organic matter, which can bioaccumulate and affect human health.…”

From the Industrial Revolution, at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, there was a significant impact on the environment due to increased emission of environmental pollutants. This problem has seen considerable growth in recent years due to population growth, resulting in further ecosystem changes due to human action. Furthermore, demands for water, electricity, and food have led to increasingly large concentrations of waste being emitted. In this context, bioremediation is an up-and-coming biotechnological alternative to combat the growing emission of pollutants into the environment. From this perspective, basidiomycetes, popularly known as mushrooms, are an effective tool for remediating environmental pollutants. These fungi use different mechanisms in bioremediation processes, such as biodegradation, biosorption, bioaccumulation, and bioconversion. Currently, the remediation potential of mushrooms has been increasingly studied. Therefore, this bibliographic review aims to analyze the literature on the potential of mushrooms in pollutant remediation. At the end of this analysis, it is concluded that macrofungi are a very effective and promising tool for suppressing the emission of environmental pollutants.
