Environmental diagnosis of an ancient tungsten mine in Argentina
Los Cóndores Mine, the most important tungsten mine exploited in Argentine, had its permanent closure in 1982, leaving mining environmental liable in place with potential impact on the quality of different environmental elements (water, air, flora, fauna, etc.). This work carries out an environmenta...
