(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)Historical gold mining in Nova Scotia resulted in over 3,000,000 tonnes of mine tailings deposited into aquatic habitats and low-lying areas, where they remain today. Legacy tailings are typically elevated in mercury (Hg) ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2022-04-25)Nova Scotia has a long history of gold mining dating back to the mid-1800’s. Early mining techniques depended on the use of liquid mercury (Hg). As there were little or no environmental regulations at the time, over ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2015)The environmental increase of mercury and arsenic - two contaminants with no biological functions - due to anthropogenic activities is a complex and growing issue. Both mercury and arsenic, in particular methylmercury and ...

(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2024-04-02)Wetlands in Nova Scotia (NS) have been contaminated by mercury (Hg) and geogenic arsenic (As), the waste products of gold mining during the 1800s. These elements have since remained in the environment, bioaccumulating in ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)Mercury concentrations in the environment have been a growing concern globally due to the inherent health risks associated with mercury exposure. Concentrations are of importance due to the impacts on the natural environment ...
