Do Metal Concentrations at Water Quality Monitoring River Sites Downstream of Legacy Mines Meet Environmental Quality Standards If Untreated Mine Drainages Are Discharged?

For a total of 80 legacy mines in Japan, by assuming that untreated mine drainages were discharged and that metal loadings from sources other than mine drainage were negligibly small, we estimated seven element concentrations (Cd, Pb, As, Cu, Zn, Fe, and Mn) at water quality monitoring (WQM) river s...
