Environmental behaviour of iron and steel slags in coastal settings (2024)
Journal Article
Riley, A. L., Cameron, J., Burke, I. T., Onnis, P., Macdonald, J. M., Gandy, C. J., Crane, R. A., Byrne, P., Comber, S., Jarvis, A. P., Hudson-Edwards, K. A., & Mayes, W. M. (2024). Environmental behaviour of iron and steel slags in coastal settings. Environmental science and pollution research, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-024-33897-4

Iron and steel slags have a long history of both disposal and beneficial use in the coastal zone. Despite the large volumes of slag deposited, comprehensive assessments of potential risks associated with metal(loid) leaching from iron and steel by-pr...

The Contribution of Major Historical Orefields to Coastal Trace Metal(loid) Fluxes in North-East England (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Riley, A. L., Onnis, P., Gandy, C. J., Kanu, C. V., Umeobika, C. V., Cameron, J., Burke, I. T., Hudson-Edwards, K. A., Jarvis, A. P., & Mayes, W. M. (2023, July). The Contribution of Major Historical Orefields to Coastal Trace Metal(loid) Fluxes in North-East England. Presented at IMWA 2023 – ”Y Dyfodol | The Future”, Newport, Wales

Mine waters and tailings are key inputs to riverine metal(loid) transport to the coast. However, coastal areas also face local contaminant pressures, e.g. active industries and abandoned landfill sites. Annual riverine metal(loid) flux data were asse...

Eroding coastal landfill sites: the relative contribution of coastal and inland mining wastes to metal flux along a post-industrial coastline (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Riley, A., Onnis, P., Gandy, C., Kanu, C., Umeobika, C., Cameron, J., Burke, I., Hudson-Edwards, K., Jarvis, A., & Mayes, W. (2023, July). Eroding coastal landfill sites: the relative contribution of coastal and inland mining wastes to metal flux along a post-industrial coastline. Presented at Goldschmidt2023, Lyon, France

Historically, coastal areas of the United Kingdom were extensively used for the disposal of wastes from a range of municipal and industrial sources, including coal mining, metal mining, and mineral processing. Many of these deposits are releasing met...
