A study to characterise the “arsenic rash” observed at a copper smelter in Tsumeb, Namibia
This study is located at a copper smelter. Arsenic is a component of copper bearing ore and arsenic trioxide is a by-product of copper smelting. The vapours (“off-gases”) that are released from the molten copper-bearing ore cool and condense in evaporative coolers to form arsenic-containing dust in …

Expanding the stratigraphic record of tsunami inundation along the semi-arid, siliciclastic coast of north-central Chile
… than the 2015 tsunami. Anthropogenic evidence (copper smelter waste) along with Cs137 and Pb210 dating constrains the magnitude and age of the older sand bed to the last 130 years. Based on historical analysis of recent tsunamis that impacted the Pachingo marsh region, we infer a widespread …
