Allchar mine is an abandoned arsenic-antimony-thallium deposit located on the northwestern part of Kozuf Mt., Republic of Macedonia. Allchar is a unique deposit within the world, due to the variety of its mineral composition especially and in the high content of thallium. The aim of this work was to assess the level of contamination at this post-mining area as well as to determine the intensity of accumulation of various elements (Ag, Al, As, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, S, Sb, Sr, Tl, V, and Zn) with focus on As, Sb and Tl, in two endemic Viola species from this locality (Viola allcharensis G. Beck, Viola arsenica G. Beck) and one Balkan endemic species (Viola macedonica Boiss. & Heldr.). Samples of different plant parts and soil were digested and then analysed by ICP-AES. It was found that the accumulation of As, Sb, and Tl in these endemic species is significantly high. In this study a systematic investigation of the As-Sb-Tl contamination of soils and their bioavailability was carried out using the extraction procedure in order to explore the mobility and potential bioavailability of the As, Sb, and Tl.
所有查尔矿是位于马其顿科祖夫山（Kozuf Mt.）西北部的一个废弃砷-锑-铊矿床。由于其矿物成分的多样性，特别是铊的高含量，所有查尔矿是世界上独一无二的矿床。本工作的目的是评估这个矿山废弃后的污染水平，并确定各种元素（Ag、Al、As、Ba、Ca、Cd、Co、Cr、Cu、Fe、Ga、K、Li、Mg、Mn、Mo、Na、Ni、P、Pb、Rb、S、Sb、Sr、Tl、V 和 Zn）的积累强度，重点关注 As、Sb 和 Tl，对来自该地区的两种地方性 Viola 物种（Viola allcharensis G. Beck、Viola arsenica G. Beck）和一种巴尔干半岛地方性物种（Viola macedonica Boiss. & Heldr.）进行分析。采集了不同植物部位和土壤样本，进行消解后，采用 ICP-AES 进行分析。结果发现，这些地方性物种对 As、Sb 和 Tl 的积累非常显著。在本研究中，采用提取程序对土壤中的 As-Sb-Tl 污染及其生物有效性进行了系统调查，以探索 As、Sb 和 Tl 的迁移性和潜在生物有效性。
