“…26,27 Therefore, mining industries and chemical facilities are considered the primary pollution sources, 28 and their wastewater need to be treated before releasing into the environment. 29 Hence, wastewater treatment technologies have been improved for MWWT and resulted in three mature types of ways to treat mining wastewater, i.e., physical, chemical, and biological treatment methods.…”

“…Previous reviews on safety and risk analysis have shown the relevance of workplace safety models in the safety-critical assessment of risks, either at mines or in any other activities where dangerous tools are used. Several safe assessment methods have been developed to address the quality and productivity of workers that sustain severe accidents at work and uncovered the adverse effect of heavy metal contaminants and other critical environmental threats to human health [33][34][35][36][37]. Researchers have examined ways to domesticate some of these advanced safe mining methods in Nigeria but with little positive results [36,38].…”

Researchers have examined ways to domesticate some of these advanced safe mining methods in Nigeria but with little positive results [36,38]. This is because many local miners believed the "advance" safe mining strategies have no direct correlation and cannot provide solutions to the type of mining hazard peculiar to them [19,39].…”

Barite, used in mud formulation, is mined in several places to support the industry. However, there is insufficient literature on the downside of mining and associated hazards, especially in the artisanal barite mining sector. This paper contains three parts. The initial section reviews major causes of mining accidents and health hazards in Nigeria. The second section examines existing but weak institutional frameworks and policies for artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) in Nigeria. In the third part, data from questionnaires and heavy metal contamination assessment are compared with health and environmental standards to identify and characterize hazards. It was observed that 54% had health challenges traceable to illicit drugs, and 54% were ignorant about the use of safety kits. The UV-Vis, AAS, and ICP-MS analyses confirmed lead, barium, zinc, copper, and iron in the water samples. Index of geoaccumulation (Igeo) and contamination factor (CF) show that water samples are moderate to highly polluted by Pb2+, Ba2+, and highly contaminated. The chronic daily intake assessment and health quotient analysis revealed that the accumulation of lead and barium is possible and can initiate chronic diseases in humans over a long time. Certain safe mining protocols and controls are recommended.

“…The activity is an anthropogenic action that causes drastic disturbances in the ecosystem, and rebuilding a soil profile is one of the main tasks for successful recovery (Bradshaw and Hüttl 2001). The effects and impacts of sand mining on the riparian forest are understudied in Brazilian Atlantic Forest (Boëchat et al 2013) and evaluating the influences of sand extraction from the river bed on the growth of forest species can contribute to the recovery of a riparian forest (Seitz et al 2019, Qin et al 2020. Sand extraction in the riverbed can alter river flow, inhibiting the growth of forest species.…”

The Vale do Ribeira region has a large extension of Brazilian Atlantic Forest, and in most cities, low environmental impact activities predominate, such as sand mining. Sand mining has been trying to adapt their industrial activities to low environmental impact, aiming at the protection of permanent preservation areas (PPAs) of riparian forests. The objective of this work was to conduct a case study focused on monitoring and initial growth of forest species by 18 months. This study was performed in a riparian forest site on the Ribeira de Iguape River, Registro, state of São Paulo, Brazil, in a PPA with extraction of river bed sand. Forest species height, stem diameter and mortality index, and rainfall were evaluated in the period. Non-pioneer species accounted for 42.7 % of the forest, while pioneer species accounted for 53.1 %. These proportions are in accordance with local legislation, which establishes a lower limit of 40 % in planting for both groups. Drought periods and leaf-cutting ants at the beginning of growth stages contributed to a higher mortality index and irregular development of some species, however, even during such adversities, forest species indicated resistance to these conditions. Pioneer species had more important development, with emphasis on Senna multijuga, Alchornea triplinervia, Citharexylum myrianthum and Trema micranta, these species must be taken into consideration during the first stages of a project which aims at recovering degraded areas in riparian forests of Atlantic Forest.
