Mine areas left behind by companies that no longer exist are defined as derelict mines – those that were operated and closed at a time when most countries did not have adequate regulations requiring rehabilitation of the impacted mine areas. This book provides unique information on the extent and severity of derelict mines’ impact on environmental degradation and human and environmental health. It examines the nature of derelict mines, short-term and long-term risks to sensitive receptors, tools for monitoring and prioritizing risks, and technological advances for rehabilitation. This book considers a risk-based approach to managing derelict mines, which is reliable and cost-effective.
FEATURES
This book is for engineers and professionals who work in mining, geology, chemistry, mineralogy, geotechnics, and hydrogeology and deal with industrial site management, waste management, mine closures, mine site reclamation, derelict mine remediation, and mine revegetation. It is also an insightful resource for graduate students, academics, and researchers focused on these courses.
Ravi Naidu is the Chief Executive and Managing Director of the Cooperative Research Centre for Contamination Assessment and Remediation of the Environment and Laureate Professor and Founding Director of the Global Centre for Environmental Remediation at the University of Newcastle. He has been a research scientist in environmental contaminants, toxicology, bioavailability and remediation for over 25 years. He has co-authored over 850 technical publications and co-edited 16 books in the field of soil and environmental sciences, including field remediation of contaminated sites. Since 1994 Ravi has worked with scientists from the United States, Europe and Asia on environmental contamination, including recent arsenic poisoning in Bangladesh, India and China, with this collaboration leading to extensive research as well as the training of 5,000 environmental managers.
