Wanshan mercury mine soils
Eastern Guizhou, Wanshan, China
Soils
- Type
- Soil
Soils contaminated by over 3000 years of cinnabar mining and by roasting calcines (Hg of 49 to 127 µg/g). Their δ202Hg lies between ore (-0.74 ‰) and calcines (+0.08 ‰), of which they would be a mixture. Indicative coordinates.
