Mine activity and acid mine drainage formation is one of the biggest environmental problems related not only to environment components influence (soil, biosphere, plants and surface water) but also to man-made materials as concrete degradation because of its chemical composition and microorganisms’ content. Corrosion associated with microorganisms has been recognized for over 50 years and yet the study of microbial involved corrosion is relatively new. Generally, microbial involved corrosion is caused by the exc...

The presence of aerosol particles is strongly related with increased morbidity and mortality even at the ordinary aerosol concentration levels that occur in the urban environment.
