“…The photograph at left shows mining residues in Wanshan. The Hg concentrations of these residues are relatively low (15-35 mg/kg [14]) compared with those from the mines in Idrija, Slovenia (15); the Humboldt River, Nev., U.S. (16); and the Sulphur Bank mine, Calif., U.S. (17). However, the large amount of mining residues in Wanshan will be a potential source of the toxic metal and a threat to the health of local residents for years.…”

“…In solid matrices and industrial samples, Hg can be found as e.g. HgS (cinnabar, metacinnabar), HgCl 2 , HgO, HgSO 4 , with different degrees of solubility and temperature stability [4][5][6][7][8].…”

“…Research has shown that in areas where the dominant Hg source is cinnabar, the Au extraction processes alter cinnabar to meta-cinnabar, a more soluble form (Gemici & Oyman, 2003;Moncur et al, 2005). Such a change allows Hg to be more susceptible to physical weathering, permitting an enrichment of Hg in fine-grained sediments and possible methalization later due to environmental effects (Slowey et al, 2007a(Slowey et al, , 2007bKim et al, 2004;Harikumar & Jisha, 2010).…”
