Integrated assessment of environmental risk in AMD-affected mine waste: mineral...

The long-term environmental legacy of mining in sulfide-rich regions remains a critical concern due to the persistent generation of acid mine drainage (AMD) and the mobilization of potentially toxic elements (PTEs). This study presents a comprehensive, site-specific assessment of mine waste from two contrasting geochemical zones, Nuestra Señora del Carmen (NSC) and Volta Falsa (VF), within the historically unde...

Advanced monitoring of abandoned mining sites with High-Resolution UAV Technology

[Excerpt] In the past decade, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, have become invaluable tools in the mining industry, supporting applications ranging from mineral exploration to environmental remediation. When equipped with high resolution image sensors, UAVs enable high spatial and temporal resolution surveying, making them particularly effective for monitoring abandoned mining sites. This paper prese...

From waste to resources: UAV monitoring of abandoned mine tailings and critical...

Acid mine drainage and waste dispersion in legacy mining sites: an integrated a...

Abandoned mines pose environmental risks due to the accumulation of sulfide-rich waste, which generates acid mine drainage and produces fine-grained, unconsolidated materials that, when deposited on steep slopes, accelerate erosion and contaminant transport. This study assesses the environmental impact of the Trimpancho mining complex by integrating UAV-based photogrammetry, water analysis, and mine waste chara...

Emergência pediátrica pré-hospitalar: experiência de uma Viatura Médica de Emer...

Introdução: As emergências pediátricas representam 5-10% das activações dos serviços de emergência. A VMER (Viatura Médica de Emergência e Reanimação) ao trabalhar no âmbito do pré-hospitalar desempenha um papel crucial na assistência às crianças gravemente doentes e no transporte primário diferenciado.

Approach to cardiac arrest in adults

The Cardio-respiratory arrest is an infrequent situation in the Primary Care (PC) setting. However the family doctor and the other PC health units staff must be prepared to act in these situations. The advanced life support algorithm was defined in the European Resuscitation Council Guidelines, based on the scientific evidence available or in expert consensus. Its applicability in the PC setting is discussed in...

Emergency equipment and drugs in primary health care

The family doctor needs proper training and access to adequate material to be able to act in emergency situations in his healthcare practice or while delivering care in the community. All healthcare practices should have an emergency box, or car, with use reserved to this kind of situations. It is the health professional’s responsibility the putting together of this box. This article intends to support health p...
