Arsenic (As) is one of the most toxic metalloids that possess many forms. As is constantly migrating from abandoned mining area to the surrounding environment in both oxidation and reducing conditions, threatening human health and ecological safety. The biogeochemical reaction of As included oxidation, reduction, methylation, and …

The emission and accumulation of toxic elements such as arsenic in various environmental compartments have become increasingly frequent primarily due to anthropogenic actions such as those observed in agricultural, industrial, and mining activities. An example of environmental arsenic contamination in Brazil exists in the city …

Arsenic poses an environmental and human health threat to people in gold mining communities in Ghana. Over the years, limited studies have documented the sources and occurrence of As from gold mining spoils (Table 4.1 ), and these studies have mainly focused on the southwestern mining region of the country.

They found that when the minerals are enriched with arsenic, gold can enter mineral structural sites by directly binding to arsenic, forming, chemically speaking, Au (2+) and As (1-) bonds. This process allows gold to be stabilized in the mineral. However, when the arsenic concentration is low, gold doesn't enter the mineral structure but ...

Arsenic is a naturally occurring element commonly found as an impurity in metal ores, and is produced commercially for use in pesticides, wood preservatives, and metal alloys. Arsenic can be toxic in large doses, and the mining industry monitors and prevents its release into the environment. [32]

The Horne Smelter has been operational in the region since 1926. According to Glencore, the plant adds $389.54m (C$500m) to Quebec's gross domestic product, and generates more than 650 direct and 1,850 indirect jobs. The company plans to invest $1.2bn (C$1.5bn) in the plant over the next decade to bring down arsenic and greenhouse gas …
