Health concerns: Respiratory Metals: As, Cd, Pb, Cu, water soluble ions (Cl -, SO 4 -, Na +, etc…) Project Focus: Mine Tailings Dust

Locations ASARCO Hayden Mine Tailings – coarse particles Active Smelter – fine particles

Locations Iron King Mine Tailings – coarse particles

Micro-Orifice-Uniform-Deposit- Impactor (MOUDI) 10-stage impaction plates 10-stage impaction plates Vacuum pump Vacuum pump Particle size captured ranges from 1-18 micrometers Particle size captured ranges from 1-18 micrometers

Scanning Mobility Particle Scanner (SMPS), Inductively Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), and Ion Chromatography (IC) SMPS gives # concentrations of particles sized from 0 to 1 micrometer SMPS gives # concentrations of particles sized from 0 to 1 micrometer ICP-MS measures heavy metal concentrations from MOUDI filters ICP-MS measures heavy metal concentrations from MOUDI filters IC measures water soluble ions from MOUDI filters IC measures water soluble ions from MOUDI filters

SMPS Data at ASARCO Hayden, plot of particle distribution. (The measurements were made upwind of mine tailings and downwind of a slag heap ) Heavy metal concentrations at Iron King site.

Future Areas of Research Correlate data to wind speed and direction Correlate data to wind speed and direction Particle analysis by Scanning Electron Microscope Particle analysis by Scanning Electron Microscope As analysis by SEM Wind rose of Iron King
