ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF ACID MINE DRAINAGE ON THE AVOCA RIVER: Acute Toxicity Experiments in the Field Using Macro-invertebrates
(Tigroney Press, ireland, 2017-06-08)Technical Report (Water Technology Research), 18, 1994-11-1 (reissued 2017-06-08)Field toxicity experiments were conducted in the Avoca River (Ireland) during August and September 1994 in order to evaluate the toxicity of acid mine drainage (AMD) to a number of selected macro-invertebrate species. The ... -
INFLUENCE OF POSSIBLE SECONDARY SULPHATE MINERALIZATION ON THE IMPACT OF ACID MINE DRAINAGE TO SURFACE WATERS
(Tigroney Press, ireland, 2017-06-08)Technical Report (Water Technology Research), 16, 1995-02-01 (reissued 2017-06-08)Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a major environmental pollutant of both surface and ground waters. Intensive sampling of drainage from mine adits has revealed a seasonal variation in the Zn:Cu ratio. This is linked to secondary ... -
