Abstract
Purpose Whereas mercury (Hg) has been extensively studied in gold mining areas (including artisanal mining), it is often overlooked as a minor contaminant in these districts, within which industrial base-metal mining and smelting are in operation. The aims of this study were to investigate Hg in tropical soils from mining and smelting areas in Namibia and Zambia and to apply statistical methods to generate models for the prediction of Hg concentrations in the soils studied.
