Legacy Pb–Zn mine tailings as persistent sources of bioaccessible potentially toxic elements in urban dust: geochemical signatures, exposure pathways, and human health risks

Abandoned mine tailings, rich in potentially toxic elements (PTEs), can be redistributed in urban areas through atmospheric resuspension. This process serves as a dynamic geochemical compartment linking legacy contamination to human exposure. This study investigated the occurrence, oral bioaccessibility, ecological sig...
