Contamination of soil and grass in the Tsumeb smelter area, Namibia: Modeling of contaminants dispersion and ground geochemical verification
Original language description
The modeling of the dispersion of dust and SO2 emissions from the Tsumeb smelter was used in this study to delineate the contaminated area and to assess the health risks.The modeling results were verified by ground-based geochemical survey of soil and grass in the area. Theresults of modeling revealed that the concentrations of SO2 in the Tsumeb town were relatively low,whereas the highest dust fallout concentrations were found around the Tsumeb smelter. The Tsumebtown residential area was less affected due to favorable landscape morphology between the smelter and the city (the Tsumeb Hills).
