Abstract:In recent decades, the increasing demand for energy and raw materials in modern societies has led to a significant increase in mining exploration. However, this has also sparked the emergence of movements against mining exploration all over the world, particularly in Europe. During the operation of open pit mines, materials are deposited on the surface and subjected to weathering processes. These processes can create an environmental impact by causing the migration of chemical elements from soils to waters. Gi… Show more
