Stoftnedfall från gruvindustrin : En utvärdering av analysdata och undersökning av provtagningspunkter kring Aitikgruvan, Gällivare
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the sampling points for measuring airborne dust deposition in the Aitik copper mine - the largest, most effective opencast copper mining in Europe - are well located regarding efficiency to collect monitoring data.
