In catchments affected by ore mining, flooding leads to the deposition of fine sediments enriched in trace metal(loid)s. Depending on their concentration, trace metal(loid)s can be a health hazard. Therefore, exposure of the local population to flood sediments, either by ingestion (covering direct ingestion and consuming food grown on these sediments) or via inhalation of dried sediments contributing to atmospheric particulate matter, is of concern. 2023-08-14T06:45:22Z 2023-08-14T06:45:22Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12302-023-00765-w https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/8801 en application/pdf Springer
