Relationship between total concentration and dilute HCl extraction of heavy metals in sediments of harbors and coastal areas in Korea.

abstract：:Historical mining in Alaska has created a legacy of approximately 6,830 abandoned mine sites which include adits, tailing piles and contaminated land that continue to impact surface and groundwater quality through run-off and leaching of potentially toxic metals, especially arsenic (As). One such site is the Lucky Sho...
