Sixteen soil samples were collected from mine waste and studied using Direct Mercury Analyzer-80 (DMA-80). The analyzed results showed that the total concentration of Hg in soil samples ranged from 2.144 to 47.635 mg.kg-1, with a mean of 19.696 mg. kg-1. These values exceeded the background values according to international standards such as (IAEA, 0.04 mg.kg-1; VIRM, 4.8 mg.kg-1; ASTRD, 0.063 mg.kg-1). … Show more
