Description:   The biological effects of the sub-aqueous disposal of mine tailings were studied with respect to the biological uptake of metals, their bioaccumulation and their possible toxic effects on aquatic organisms. Geochemical considerations examined the geochemical controls of metal concentrations in the pore waters. The bioavailability of the dissolved metals was presented by the interaction between dissolved metals, aquatic organisms and particulate metals. Ecotoxicological considerations monitored metal bioaccumulation and the use of biochemical indicators of metal-induced stress.
Notes: Summary in English and French.
