Mining Hazardous Waste, Acid Mine Drainage, and Their Combined Environmental and Social Impacts in the Democratic Republic of Congo: A Systematic Review

2026-07-01

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) holds one of the largest and most geochemically diverse mineral endowments on Earth, with the Katanga Copperbelt alone contributing over 70% of global cobalt supply and a substantial share of copper production. Yet decades of industrial extraction, compounded by a rapid expansion of artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM), have generated environment...
