“…However, it contains significant levels of As, Cd, Hg, Pb, and Sb in average concentrations of 1.5, 0.2, 0.08, 13, and 0.2 mg/kg, respectively, in the earth's crust [ [7] , [8] , [9] ]. The composition of water resources can be affected by different factors, one of which can be acid mine drainage and leachate, suspended solids, soil erosion, mining waste in surface waters [ 10 ], dispersion in rivers rainfall, and other hydrological processes [ 11 , 12 ]. Acidic solutions produced by mine drainage and industrial activities can reach the surface water or groundwater according to the hydrogeology of the site, leading to the deterioration of water quality by accumulation and transport of sediment that is detrimental to health [ 13 , 14 ].…”
