Environmental assessment of abandoned mine tailings in Adak, Vasterbotten district (northern Sweden)

Sulfide-rich mine tailings in Adak that are exposed to weathering cause acid mine drainage characterized by low PH (2-4) and high SO4 (UP to 800 mg L-1). Surface water, sediment and soil samples co ...
