Beschreibungen/Notizen
The contamination of the mesosphere with heavy metals is a worldwide
problem, mainly caused by anthropogenic activities like mining
processes. Acid mine drainage (AMD) associated with this activity is a
common problem, especially when sulphidic, pyrite containing ores are
exploited (Johnson 2003). Through oxidation and erosion, accelerated by
microbial pyrite oxidation and leaching, acid is generated which results
in environmental conditions mobilizing heavy metals. Rainfall and rising
groundwater levels lead to heavy metal contaminated waters, which are
bioavailable for both plants and other organisms.
