摘 要:Changes in levels of heavy metals in seawater resulting from the addition of mine tailings were studied using plastic enclosures. Nominal concentrations of 10 mg l-1 and 100 mg l-1 of mine tailings from a B. C. molybdenum mine were added, and the metal levels were followed together with sedimentation rates, particle size distribution and other oceanographic and biological time-series parameters over sixteen days. No substantial elevation in levels of zinc, cadmium and copper was observed in the tailing bags compared to that in a background control bag with no addition of tailings. Lead showed a substantial increase in seawater following tailing addition and its removal apparently was with detritus settling following a plankton bloom, and inorganic settling of fine tailing particles.
