| Abstract | The report provides a qualitative perspective on the risks that mining wastes pose by first determining the locations of mines and potential receptor populations (human and wildlife) and then comparing selected factors which affect exposure of mine sites with those at hazardous waste sites. The approach represents the first stage of exposure analysis, one of the components of a formal risk assessment. However, transport, fate, and effects of contaminants released from mine waste are not covered by the report. |
