Radionuclides, Metals, and Semi-metals in Water of Artisanal Mining Sites: A Monte Carlo Simulation Approach to Health Risk Assessment

Mining activities generate large volumes of waste, including tailings rich in natural radionuclides and potentially toxic elements. These wastes accumulate on-site and are washed into mining ponds, contaminating water used by miners and nearby communities, posing serious health r...
