Bioaccumulation of heavy metals with environmental objects and assessment of health risks (the former mining enterprise Khingansky GOK as an example)

Bioaccumulation of heavy metals with environmental objects has been studied. High concentrations of toxic heavy metals have been found in the recycling wastes of tin ore. The heavy metals migration to the environmental objects (snow, anthropogenic soils, water, and sediments) has been revealed. Fina...

Description
Summary:Bioaccumulation of heavy metals with environmental objects has been studied. High concentrations of toxic heavy metals have been found in the recycling wastes of tin ore. The heavy metals migration to the environmental objects (snow, anthropogenic soils, water, and sediments) has been revealed. Finally, the metals are accumulated in living organisms, including agricultural production grown in suburban areas located near the tailings. Industrial pollution of agricultural ecosphere contributes to the related diseases, including those of respiratory, nervous, and digestive systems.
