Principal attention was directed to the vicinities of the Bamford zinc mine and the Pequea silver mine, and to a prospect near Gap. Distribution patterns of geochemical anomalies found in these areas were studied to determine whether

An exploratory study of the area surrounding a historical Pb–Zn mining and smelting area in Zawar, India, detected significant contamination of the terrestrial environment by heavy metals. Soils (n = 87) were analyzed for pH, EC, total organic matter (TOM), Pb, Zn, Mn, and Cd levels. The statistical analysis indicated that the frequency …
