Mobilization and attenuation of metals downstream from a base-metal mining site in the Matra Mountains, northeastern Hungary Mobilization and attenuation of metals downstream from a base-metal mining site in the Matra Mountains, northeastern Hungary
Regional geochemical baseline values have been established for Hungary by the use of low-density stream-sediment surveys of flood-plain deposits of large drainage basins and of the fine fraction of stream sediments. The baseline values and anomaly thresholds thus produced helped to evaluate the importance of high toxic element concentrations found in soils in a valley downstream of a...

USGS research on saline waters co-produced with energy resources USGS research on saline waters co-produced with energy resources
The United States energy industry faces the challenge of satisfying our expanding thirst for energy while protecting the environment. This challenge is magnified by the increasing volumes of saline water produced with oil and gas in the Nation's aging petroleum fields. Ultimately, energy-producing companies are responsible for disposing of these waters. USGS research provides basic...

Geochemical processes controlling uranium mobility in mine drainages Geochemical processes controlling uranium mobility in mine drainages
Comprehensive models of ore genesis incorporate metal sources, transport and concentration mechanisms, and preservation mechanisms. Analogous concepts apply to the problem of metal migration from mines, mine wastes, and mine tailings, including: the concentrations, mineralogical occurrence, and availability of metals in mineral deposits, host rocks, mine wastes, and tailings (the source)...

222Rn transport in a fractured crystalline rock aquifer: Results from numerical simulations 222Rn transport in a fractured crystalline rock aquifer: Results from numerical simulations
Dissolved 222Rn concentrations in ground water from a small wellfield underlain by fractured Middle Proterozoic Pikes Peak Granite southwest of Denver, Colorado range from 124 to 840 kBq m-3 (3360-22700 pCi L-1). Numerical simulations of flow and transport between two wells show that differences in equivalent hydraulic aperture of transmissive fractures, assuming a simplified two...

Hydrogeologic and water-quality data used to evaluate the effects of focused recharge on ground-water quality near Princeton, Minnesota, 1991-95 Hydrogeologic and water-quality data used to evaluate the effects of focused recharge on ground-water quality near Princeton, Minnesota, 1991-95
This study was part of the Management Systems Evaluation Area (MSEA) Program, a multi-scale, inter-agency initiative to evaluate the effects of agricultural systems on water quality in the midwest corn belt. The research was part of the U.S. Geological Survey Toxics Substances Hydrology Program. The research area was located in the Anoka Sand Plain about 5 kilometers southwest of...

Controls on 222Rn variations in a fractured crystalline rock aquifer evaluated using aquifer tests and geophysical logging Controls on 222Rn variations in a fractured crystalline rock aquifer evaluated using aquifer tests and geophysical logging
Concentrations of 222Rn in ground water may vary considerably within megascopically homogeneous rocks over relatively short distances. Calculations indicate that different hydraulic apertures of water‐bearing fractures may account for variations in dissolved 222Rn concentration measured in domestic water wells completed in fractured Pikes Peak Granite, assuming that all other factors...

Relationships between 222Rn dissolved in ground water supplies and indoor 222Rn concentrations in some Colorado front range houses Relationships between 222Rn dissolved in ground water supplies and indoor 222Rn concentrations in some Colorado front range houses
Indoor 222Rn concentrations were measured in 37 houses with alpha track detectors placed in water-use rooms near water sources (bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens) and in non-water-use living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms away from water sources. Results show that relative contributions of 222Rn to indoor air from water use are insignificant when soil-gas concentrations are high...
