Spatial Distribution, Migration, and Ecological Risk of Cd in Sediments and Soils Surrounding Sulfide Mines—A Case Study of the Dabaoshan Mine of Guangdong, China
Acid mine drainage (AMD) resulting from metal sulfide mining activities can lead to contamination by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) primarily concentrated around the mining area and gradually spreading outward. However, ecological risks do not correspond directly to PTE concentrations, making it...
