Artisanal mining of monazite and cassiterite in the Amazon: Potential risks of rare earth elements for the environment and human health

2023-11-30

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>A artisanal mining is applied on a large scale in developing countries, and in the Amazon region, the scenario is no different. This method of mineral exploration generally does not employ mitigation techniques for potential damages and can lead to various environmental problems and risks to human health. The objectives of this study were to quantify the concentrations of Rare Earth Ele...
