Management of Solid Waste Containing Fluoride—A Review
Abstract Technological and economic development have influenced the amount of post-production waste. Post-industrial waste, generated in the most considerable amount, includes, among others, waste related to the mining, metallurgical, and energy industries. Various non-hazardous or hazardous wastes can be used to produce new construction materials after the “solidification/stabilization” processes. They can be used as admixtures […]

Human health risk assessment of metals and anions in surface water from a mineral coal region in Brazil
Abstract Coal mining releases high concentration elements to the environment, which can be deposited in surface water, causing several human health problems. Candiota mine in the south of Brazil is the largest coal reserves in the country, representing approximately 40% of total national coal reserves. Therefore, the present study aimed to estimate the chronic daily […]

Geochemical controls on the enrichment of fluoride in the mine water of the Shendong mining area, China
Highlights 51% of mine water samples exceed the Chinese drinking water limit for fluoride (1 mg/L). The overall mine water quality is influenced by cation exchange, dissolution of minerals and so on. NaHCO3 type mine water possesses the highest average fluoride concentration. Fluoride concentrations are overall proportional to higher pH, TDS, and EC levels. Fluoride […]

Long term spatial-temporal dynamics of fluoride in sources of drinking water and associated health risks in a semiarid region of Northern China
Highlights F– levels of Taiyuan were in optimum range based on the recommendation by USEPA. Individual locations within industrial areas had higher F– levels. HRIsF were calculated and the highest associated with suburban areas. F– levels and HRIsF of the groundwater in Taiyuan showed a decreasing trend. HRIsF in suburban areas was higher than urban […]
