Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

The chromium content of soil, dust, and plants near an open-pit mine used to store self-decomposing chromite ore processing residue (COPR) of the Chelyabinsk Electrometallurgical Combine was studied by synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence analysis (SRXFR).
