“…Since 2009 and even more so since 2014, the OHM-BMP has applied an interdisciplinary approach to the question of potential health and environmental impacts of the storage facility for residues from bauxite processing at the Gardanne plant. This work first focused on atmospheric particles from the storage site and their health and environmental impacts [Noack et al, 2012, Bonnefoy et al, 2017, Bley et al, 2019, Pourcelot et al, 2021. Further work was then carried out on the possibilities of revegetating the site to avoid dust emissions [Fourrier et al, 2020[Fourrier et al, , 2021 and on the opportunities for recycling the residues [Lallemand et al, 2022].…”
